This beautiful and moving story follows the first year in the life of a lone evergreen tree growing in the heart of the ancient oak woodland of the New Forest. The evergreen is befriended by the oldest oak who has lived for hundreds of years. When winter arrives all the oak trees must go to sleep, but of course evergreens never sleep. Finally, after a long, cold and lonely winter, spring brings both sadness and joy to the little tree. Join the old oak, the barn owl, a cloud dragon and the squirrels in this enchanting, life affirming tale of how love and friendship can help to heal the wounds of a young life.
