Emily Dangremond
Emily Dangremond, also known as Dr. Danger, is the author of Meet the Trees and the creator of the science podcast, Kids’ Questions Answered.
Emily is a biologist who wants everyone to love plants. She loves animals too, but plants are easier to work with because they don’t run away.
Meet the Trees
Meet the Trees follows trees Juneberry, Aspen, and Oak as they navigate scary situations and figure out ways to recover. Read along to learn more about trees and the lessons they teach us about resilience. Written in rhyme, the story invites readers of all ages to see trees as living beings who can learn and grow with each experience, just like us. Scientific concepts include animal-plant interactions, herbivory, seed dispersal and disturbance.
An original and fun read from start to finish, "Meet the Trees" is unreservedly recommended, especially for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 3- 10.
