Oak: From Seed to Ancient Tree offers an imaginative exploration of the oak’s life, tracing its journey from a small seed to a towering giant. It delves into the oak’s vital role within the forest—the shelter and sustenance it provides to countless creatures—and the deep connections it holds with humans.


The photographs feature oak seeds at the beginning of life, ancient oaks from the United Kingdom and Europe, and Southern live oaks in the United States.


Through imaginative writing, readers are transported into a wider world. The book opens a window into the slow rhythm of a different form of consciousness, where time, in the realm of old trees, unfolds at a pace known only to those rooted in the earth for centuries.
