Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees partners with his daughter to introduce readers to all of the fascinating things trees do as they change through the seasons!

Piet Finds A Home tells the story of Piet the squirrel who needs a new home. Peter the forester suggests he move into an old beech tree, but Piet is nervous – the tree is VERY big! As he settles in, he soon finds that his new home is full of surprises: it can drink water with its roots, make sugar from sun, air, and water, and sweat through its leaves. Piet learns more and more about his home as the year and seasons pass. Could Piet’s new home be something more?

In this charming book readers discover:

  • How trees are not only homes to animals like Piet, but share so much in common with us
  • Informational sidebars throughout
  • An authors’ note at the end filled with facts about animals, nature, and forests

Filled with stunning illustrations by Rachel Qiuqi, this second book in the Peter and Piet series follows the adventures of Piet the squirrel as he explores his forest home and his friend Peter the forester. These fun stories by bestselling author Peter Wohlleben and Carina Wohlleben include backmatter and informative sidebars.

'The next best thing to a forest walk – and might even inspire one.' – Kirkus Reviews
