When a wise old tree takes a tiny sapling into his care, he keeps her sheltered from storms and shaded from the scorching sun. Supported by his love, she grows and grows.

There are so many things to see and to learn: how to appreciate the beauty of the world; how to be strong against the wind, but flexible enough to bend. Together, they make memories they'll hold on to forever.

But when the old tree's leaves begin to fall, it's time for the sapling to take her own place in the world - and to learn how to hold on to the memories that mean so much.

Filled with luminous artwork, this beautiful book is a story for everyone - both young and old.
