My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I enjoyed this story. It would make a wonderful bedtime read for children and adults alike. The idea of taking care of the tree, encouraging it to grow, and enjoying its beauty touched my heart. I felt sad when the tree gave everything but definitely felt joy as it found new purpose. The illustrations were fairly simple and told the story along with the words. I highly recommend this for everyone.
