When Alfie's Grandpa reveals that paper, if made correctly, can tell the story of the tree it came from, Alfie isn't sure whether to believe him. Once he starts to listen closely, Alfie realises that he is the only one listening. He must spring into action to save the trees from being chopped down. Told using actors, puppets and shadows, The Truth About Trees is a heartwarming story about nature, stories and standing up for what you believe in. 'An eco message, but one that never gets in the way of the story' **** (TheEdinburghReporter.co.uk).
