Treeshape

Treeshape by Trace Balla is an extraordinary graphic novel memoir that blends nature writing, personal reflection and a deep sense of place with the immediacy of visual storytelling. Tender, thoughtful and quietly powerful, it’s the kind of book you’ll want to linger over—panel by panel, line by line.

In these pages, Balla traces life-changing encounters with landscape and waterways, exploring how attention to the natural world can reshape the way we live. Her storytelling moves between memory and observation, showing how relationships—to family, to community, and to Country—are formed through listening, walking, and learning from the land.

Perfect for readers who love Australian graphic novels, memoir, environmental themes and books that speak gently but firmly about belonging. It’s also a beautiful pick for fans of contemplative, art-led nonfiction.
