My heart was a tree (poems & stories)

My heart was a tree - hardback

Taking its lead from the Ted Hughes poem which gives the book its title, the woods around his home, and the forests which support life on Earth, this book is a celebration, and Michael Morpurgo's love letter to trees.

Among these poems and stories are an ancient olive remembering Odysseus and Penelope; a eucalyptus that gave shelter to a koala; a piece of driftwood made into a chair; a tiny sapling carried by a refugee as a reminder of home - and many more.
