Why do we need trees? - Author Katie Daynes

A beautiful first exploration of how trees help us — and the planet
Why Do We Need Trees? is a hands-on introduction to the vital role trees play in our world. Through colourful illustrations and over 30 interactive flaps, children will discover how trees clean the air, cool the earth, house animals, and help protect the planet. Young readers can peek under leaves and behind trunks to uncover answers to big questions about nature and sustainability.

Written by Katie Daynes, this title is part of the First Questions and Answers series, created to spark curiosity and make learning fun for children aged 3 and up. It’s an ideal read for home, school, or any early years setting that values environmental awareness.

Why we (and schools) love it:

• Encourages environmental responsibility: A perfect starting point for talking about ecology and sustainability.
• Interactive format engages young readers: Flaps make science playful and promote active learning.
• Cross-curricular use: Links science, geography, and social responsibility in early childhood education.
