Overview
A young girl, a young boy, and an ancient old oak tree come together in this stunning picture book about friendship, love, growing up, and our connectedness with nature. Told in minimal and poetic rhyming text from Dawn Casey and softly romantic artwork from Geneviève 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, sometimes fall out, and the time passes. 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, perfect for Valentine's Day as well as Earth Day, and celebrates how nature can bring us together and fill the world with love.
