What an absolute delight this book is, especially in these trying times! It is so refreshing to see a book where kindness, generosity, love, and the pursuit of a dream triumph.
This wonderful book had me at “Hello”! The beautiful, whimsical cover begs you to open the book, dive right in, and join in Tree’s adventure. How could you refuse, with Tree’s very expressive eyes, begging you to help and guide him? These phenomenal, totally detailed illustrations add that extra element of wonder as the characters and landscape come to life, beautifully intertwined with the rhythmical text. You can feel this book actually come alive in your hands, lending to its ability to be easily read during story time or bedtime. The reader and listeners are totally engaged as you follow Tree step by step on his quest to see the world. This is a book that will become a family’s or a classroom treasure, with that very special place reserved for it on any bookshelf so it can be easily found to be read over and over.
The story is a wonderful example of Tree’s perseverance, pursuing his dream and never giving up, enlisting the help of his new found friends, the Little Girl, and the animals around him, hence, making friendships that will last forever. It is a perfect book for anyone, young or old, who has a dream and desires to see it through to fruition. The ending is so poignant, as the Tree, the Little Girl, the Children, and the Animals discover that their strength to move and take Tree on this adventure to see the world had nothing to do with physical strength, rather it was the power of Love and Friendship that sustained them all along.
As a retired teacher and a grandmother of four, I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful journey of love, generosity, and kindness. I can see my grandson, who is four years old, totally engrossed in the plot, actively pointing out each character as he follows along, repeating the rhythmical poem after me. Tree’s expressions of determination, happiness and joy will definitely be seen in the eyes of the children that are watching and listening. You are totally involved in the plot from beginning to end.
I am 68 years old and I totally believe, just like Tree, that being true to yourself, with hard work, imagination and determination, all dreams are possible. Most importantly, it is in showing love and kindness, that we will overcome all the ills in this world.

A Wonderful Story of Friendship
We really enjoyed the story of a little tree who branches out on a big adventure. Little tree longs to see the world and make new friends, so with the help of the birds, he set's off to see the the world. Kindness, friendship, adventure and the power of working together, are all themes that run through this story. As a bonus, at the back of the book are facts and kid friendly jokes about the four seasons. I great addition to any home library!
