The Things Trees Know

Let the steady strength of trees guide you through life’s sunshine and storms in these soulful reflections from Douglas Wood.

Of all the teachers in the natural world, few are as rooted in wisdom—or as generous in spirit—as trees. They stand through seasons of hardship and change, offering silent lessons to those who pause and listen. In The Things Trees Know, best-selling author Douglas Wood offers heartfelt meditations on what we can learn from our towering companions. With branches reaching skyward and roots anchored deep, trees model how to grow through adversity, endure life’s trials, and remain true to ourselves.

Inspired by a deeply personal moment of clarity beneath the silhouette of an old oak, Douglas shares poetic musings and elegantly simple illustrations that translate the quiet lessons of trees into meaningful guidance for daily living. Whether you’re seeking solace, encouragement, or a deeper connection with nature, this book offers timeless insight from nature’s most steadfast beings.
