When gazing upon a tree, do you merely observe its physical components—the foliage, twigs, and boughs? Or do you perceive a vibrant, breathing entity that sways and flourishes? This enchanting picture book invites readers to delve into their connection with the natural world.
Created in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this captivating tome explores themes of empathy, mindfulness, and personal development through a child's perspective. Penned and illustrated by the acclaimed Emma Carlisle, "What Do You See When You Look At a Tree?" prompts readers to reconnect with nature through thought-provoking questions. These inquiries encourage critical thinking and self-reflection, whilst fostering a deeper appreciation for the environment and one's place within it.
The exquisite watercolour and hand-finished artwork draws comparisons to the beloved "The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse", whilst evoking the timeless charm of E. H. Shephard's cherished Winnie-the-Pooh illustrations.
For the benefit of both adult and child readers, mindfulness tips and arboreal information are thoughtfully included at the book's conclusion.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
