DISCOVER CHILDREN'S STORY CENTRE

Adoette lived to be 100 years old. Just imagine all the things she saw!

Award-winning and bestselling author-illustrator Lydia Monks beautifully tells the tale of the life of one tree, from a young sapling to a mighty oak, becoming the beating heart of the community she lived in, right up until the day they cut her down. But there’s hope, when one little girl takes one of her acorns to plant in the community garden.

Inspired by Lydia’s fight to stop 10,000 trees being chopped down in her hometown of Sheffield.

Discover the original artwork for the book in our café exhibition and find a trail of Adoette’s community throughout our building. Pick up a trail sheet from Reception to get started.
