For her, the tree is a place for play, for refuge, and also a source of inspiration. While this is a true story of one tree and one girl\/woman\/artist that celebrates a particular banyan tree, it is also a testament to the quiet power shared by all trees. Further, this beautifully told story is not only of the relationship between an artist and a tree, but is a strong environmental statement made more effective by being non-polemical. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe banyan tree featured in the book is in the process of being designated a City of Miami Beach heritage tree. In 2021, Michele Oka Doner was officially proclaimed guardian of the ninety-five-year-old banyan tree by the City of Miami Beach. A book and work of art that defies classification, \u003ci\u003eA Seed Takes Root\u003c\/i\u003e is simultaneously an art book, a poetic meditation, a memoir, a fable, and a tale suitable for children and for readers of all ages.","brand":"Tra Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44306896060671,"sku":"9798986640648","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798986640648_s600x595.jpg?v=1781544462","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9798986640648","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
