Publisher's summary

“The Trees know.”

A cryptic message from Nana as she dies sends Ruth rushing to her special place in nature, The Listening Tree, for help. Transported through time by the Tree, from 1896 to 2035, she meets Michael and Arabeth from the future. They learn they are members of the Society of Rainwalkers—humans able to time travel through trees. The Trees need their help, or by 2050, climate change will devastate the planet.

Will Ruth, aspiring writer and word lover, Michael, wannabe pilot and Star Trek fan, and Arabeth, future geneticist and science enthusiast, successfully save the Tree for the future?

The Listening Tree is a magical realism adventure filled with the excitement of time travel, the thrill of discovery, and the strength found in our connections with each other and with nature.

A story that will keep you intrigued…

My family listened to this story during a car road trip…middle & high schooler. We all enjoyed it and found the adventures experienced with time traveling kept us interested. We had a great discussion on how taking care of our planet now is critical for our future. Highly recommend this story.

The trees know…

A great book for our times and a super intro to discussions with your kids about caring for the natural world around us. The narrator’s voice is very clear, warm, and reassuring - like a mom reading your favorite bedtime story - just perfect for this book. She really brings you into the story and provides all the charming characters with distinct voices. Highly recommend!
