  • Continuing the 25-Year Celebration: Treewhispers at the Evanston Public Library

    As part of the 25-year celebration of Treewhispers, and at the invitation of the HIVE Center for Book Arts, handmade paper rounds from near and far are on display. They are filling the stairwells and third floor of the Evanston Public Library now through January 2026. Each circle holds a story, a reflection, or a memory.

    This installation is a small part of the thousands of stories that have grown with Treewhispers over the years. It is also an open invitation for new stories to take root. Pause along the stairwells, linger on the third floor, read, dream, and remember. Let yourself be inspired by creativity, community, and our enduring connection with trees.

  • Shared visions

    I never cease to be amazed and delighted by the creative stories and art that are shared!

    There were two trees.

    They are friends.

    They have a bird friend too.

    Although they can talk to each other through their bird friend.

    They cannot play or touch each other.

    There was a road in between them.

    Then they both grew up.

    And one day they can touch each other’s leaves and branches.

    They are happy now.

    They brid friend sings a song for them.
