Description
A poignant tale of loss, change, and nature's quiet triumph unfolds in this beautifully illustrated story. When a house was new, its lawn was devoid of trees, but the scent of wild trees drew children to neighboring lots, where they discovered secret places to play. As the children grew up and moved away, the father of the house continued his battle against the seeds of new trees, but eventually, he too left, and the empty house began to decline. The trees, however, began to reclaim the land, their approach both wistful and exhilarating. This lovely story evokes the inexorable passage of time and the awe-inspiring power of nature.
