"In this unusual chapter book, the main characters are not humans, but trees, foxes, birds, and even mycorrhizal fungi. Sebastian the Ash is wise, compassionate, and philosophical, making him a wonderful guide for readers as theyexplore the unfamiliar, magical world of the forest ecosystem. The story is filled with rich descriptions of that world,from the smells of earth and the different qualities of light to the unique characters of the different plants andanimals that inhabit the forest. These descriptions aren’t just beautiful; readers will also learn a great deal ofbiological information along the way."

"The Tales of Sebastian the Ash is one of those rarebooks that feels both timeless and delightfully strange,a story that invites readers—children and adults alike—to slow down, listen, and reconsider what it means tobe alive in a connected world...The Tales of Sebastianthe Ash is a charming, thoughtful read that will appealto nature lovers, young readers with big imaginations,and adults who appreciate stories with philosophicalundercurrents. Poilé invites us to slow down, listen, andconsider the unseen connections that shape our world.It’s a book that lingers long after the final page. I'mhappy to report that this is a 5‑star read to emphasizethat this is a standout, memorable and beautifullycrafted work."

"Weaving real-world information about nature’s life cycles into soulful storytelling, this debut work of middle-grade fiction, illustrated with black-and-white drawings by the author, features an unusual first-person narrator. A creative, often moving take on life cycles and tree science."
