This book holds reverence and respect for the natural world in high esteem, using a central visual metaphor of the growth and blossoming of a tree.Alena Hennessy's illustration style combines nature, whimsey, delicacy, and a modern sensibility; vibrant pen and ink illustrations accompany relevant quotes of inspiration, tips, and creative journal exercises.
