Book 1: Do You Speak Tree?
What makes the series unique is that each story is nearly wordless.
In the first book, Oakie the oak tree goes on an adventure to find someone who will speak up for the forest. But the problem is that Oakie speaks Tree, a fun visual language that no one else understands.
That all changes when Oakie meets Art, an imaginative elementary school student with a crayon in hand and a plan in mind to save the day.
Book 2: Do You Speak Bear?
Do You Speak Bear? continues the adventures of Art and Oakie as they speak up for all of the animals who call the forest home.
For every copy of Do You Speak Tree? and Do You Speak Bear? that Oak Tree Comics prints, Oak Tree Comics donates a dollar to One Tree Planted, a non-profit 501(c)(3).
Book 3: Do You Speak Bee?
Art and Oakie's third book is now available to pre-order. You can learn about our pre-order campaign and how pre-orders help our small business and the environment here.
We're dedicating Do You Speak Bee? "for the teachers" because where would we be without them?
