Description

Discover the touching story of a young girl and boy and an ancient old oak tree, in this sweet picture book about friendship, growing up, and our connectedness with nature. Told in minimal and poetic rhyming text from Dawn Casey and with soft, romantic artwork by Genevieve Godbout, the story introduces a girl and a boy who grow up alongside their friend, an old oak tree. The tree is a constant presence in their lives as they play. Inspired by their shared love for their old friend, they plant a new forest and tend it together, finding their feelings for one another deepening and changing alongside the growing saplings. Their relationship blossoms, as does the new forest - one living, loving family. This sweet and timeless tale packs an emotional punch, showing how love is all around us. A beautiful and romantic picture book from the author and illustrator pairing behind the bestselling Apple Cake. A celebration of love and connectedness with nature, the book is printed on environmentally friendly 100% recycled paper. It's a calming read for kids and a lovely reminder that nature connects us all and of the touching harmony between us as people. A great gift for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day or just as a touching keepsake for loved ones.
