Walking Tree Press is a small independent publishing company located in the rural Willamette Valley of western Oregon, where trees grow very tall—but never walk.
The Walking Tree of the Amazon Jungle has the unusual ability to "walk" on aerial roots, which serve as "legs." Inspired by a need for more light, the tree lets roots on one side die off and grows new ones in the direction it wants to go. In this manner, the Walking Tree moves up to seven feet a year.
At Walking Tree Press we believe that if a tree can decide to make a change and move in a new direction, we humans should certainly be able to do the same. Walking Tree Press publishes books that make a difference—books that contribute to our knowledge of the world, books that are beautiful to look at and handle, and books that inspire us to move in new directions.
