A Tree Is a Time Machine

By Rob Sears

You are invited to travel through the ages in the company of a 4,000-year-old yew tree named Eunice, whose perspective on time is a little bit different to our own. Her wisdom will get you pondering: why is humanity in such a rush lately? Why does time fly and sometimes drag? And how can the actions of one generation change things for those who follow?

Guiding you on a journey from the extremely long past to the head-spinning present and the unshaped future, Eunice reminds us that in a world that seems to be traveling at warp speed, taking your time is sometimes the best thing you can do. After all, some of the most important things in life can't be sped up.

A Tree is a Time Machine is an antidote to uncertain times, and the perfect gift for anyone who has ever felt like they just want the world to slow down.

Written by bestselling author Rob Sears (The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin: Life Coach) and humorously illustrated by his brother Tom Sears, A Tree is a Time Machine's witty, graphic novel approach makes the mind-bending topic of time accessible for all, and gently reminds us to take care of the world around us.
