What happens when an old oak tree decides it wants to see the world?
Tired of standing in the same spot for generations, an oak tree pulls up its roots and sets off on a whimsical adventure. Over hills and daisies he goes, until he discovers a dazzling city alive with lights, music, and laughter. For a moment, he thinks he’s found his new home beside a sparkling stream.
But the city is not made for trees—his roots cannot break through the concrete, and the smoky air hides the stars he once knew. Weary and wise, the oak returns to the hill he has always called home, carrying with him the treasured memory of the city’s brilliance.
This timeless tale is a gentle meditation on curiosity, courage, and belonging. With lyrical storytelling and a touch of magic, it reminds us that while adventure calls us outward, the deepest roots of comfort and meaning are often found where we first began.
Perfect for children ages 4–8, The Tree That Went for a Walk is a story to read aloud, share, and treasure.
