Let Me Learn from a Tree

Few may explore the theme of trees at the core of their writing as the topic feels so empirical and scientific, as most matters of nature are generally treated, nonetheless Daniel Ceeline Ramonal braves weaving an intimate collection of lessons from trees. Written in switching tones - often poetic, sometimes serious, occasionally angry, but always with a dash of humor, she gives insightful and provocative ideas about ’everyday things’ that are taken for granted while navigating through delicate issues like waste culture, discrimination, and climate change. ’Let Me Learn from a Tree’ narrates fourteen reflections and stories about change, anticipation versus reality, surviving and overcoming challenges, diversity, death, and positivity that allude to trees and our experiences around them. The short stories remind readers to dig deeper and look closer at the hidden messages that the trees are trying to impart.
