This richly illustrated concertina book takes the reader from below the forest floor, through shrubs, branches and leaves into the emergent layer, following a forest ecosystem from the base of a tree to its very top. Exploring a rainforest on one side of the concertina, and a temperate forest on the other side, The Forest That Grows Around Me celebrates the importance of forest ecosystems around the world.A follow-up to The Street Beneath My Feet, The Skies Above My Eyes and The Sea Below My Toes, this visually stunning book explores the plants and animals that live at every layer of the forest in both tropical and temperate climates, from the fungal networks and burrows deep below the soil, to shrubs, bugs and mammals living on the forest floor, to the lizards, vines and beetles that call the trunk and branches home, all the way up to the birds that soar above the tree tops. For example, on your journey, you will meet:Squirrels and chipmunksBlack bears and batsArmadillos and slothsGreen anacondas and hummingbirdsJaguars and spider monkeysWith a primary focus on the conservation of these important ecosystems The Forest That Grounds Around Me explores how these forest environments survive and thrive, and what we need to do to protect them. The beauty and variety of forest life are brought to life by Vuon Illustration's rich illustrations. This book is part of the Look Closer series, a set of concertina books that help teach us about the mysteries and wonders that are found in the world around us.
