beautiful tree love story

[Deatrice · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a wonderful story about appreciating the simple things in life and taking care of living things. It also focuses on the changing seasons on the scale of life as well as earths seasons. It was as enjoyable to read as it was to gaze at the beautiful illustrations.
