The Dreaming Tree

The Dreaming Tree by Jo Oliver

A Place to Sit, Watch and Dream!

From the high branches of an ancient oak tree there is much to see, and amongst green leafy branches the landscape of this unique country stretches out ready to be explored. Between the dawning of the sun and the rising of the moon, the sun comes out to shine on the dry red-sand deserts, the green forests and the clear blue seas, that are home to so many wondrous animals and the numerous children who call this playground, their country, home.

The Dreaming Tree is a visual snapshot of growing up in Australia, beautifully brought to life through free verse poetry with the occasional rhyme. The accompanying imagery is soft and airy, expressing a landscape that is alive and textured, making you want to reach out and touch it, despite the smooth, soft pages. The large formate and descriptive language present a beautiful book not only for the young but for lovers of poetry of all ages.
