A wordless picture book that offers a reflective look at the passage of time and humanity’s relationship with nature. The story centres on a single tree (for the most part) along a river, standing as a silent witness to human progress, conflicts, and environmental change over millennia. When the book is set is for the close reader to work out. Through intricate and cinematic illustrations, Becker traces the rise and fall of civilizations, showing the impact of industrialisation, war, and technological growth on both the land and its inhabitants.
This poignant tale, though wordless, sparks deep conversation about the environment, stewardship, and the fleeting nature of human endeavours. This is both a cautionary tale and a celebration of nature's resilience, offering readers a rich, immersive experience that encourages contemplation on humanity’s role within the natural world.
