The Big Tree at George and Charlotte's House takes us on a journey from a tree's roots to its leaves and explores the vast array of creatures that live in between.

Author, owner-builder, and ecologist Tomm Stanley is back with his first new book in over two years. Departing from his sustainable, do-it-yourself homebuilding and alternative energy offerings of the past, Tomm entertains and educates adults and children alike about trees and their interactions with the environment in The Big Tree at George and Charlotte's House.

Woven into the tale of two youngsters playing in a tree is an ecological learning adventure as we have never before experienced in print. Written on a variety of learning levels, The Big Tree at George and Charlotte's House takes us on a journey from a tree's roots to its leaves and explores the vast array of creatures that live in between.

The learning is first found within a delightfully illustrated tale of our two young friends, George and Charlotte, as they experience the tree's world through the eyes of children. Added to this is a "book within a book" that discusses the same things George and Charlotte are discovering but in an educational format suited to older kids of all ages. The combination makes for a wonderful parent/child reading experience and creates a book that can stay with us and our children, from their first look at the colorful pages until some time in the future when they may share it with new little friends or children of their own.
