A girl new to the city befriends an old tree at the playground. In sharing their stories revealing their joys and sorrows, they see into each other’s lives, discovering, as all true friends do, that being seen an understood for oneself is one of the purest expressions of love. And friendship, in all its forms, is a balm for healing, a force for wholeness.

kirkus reviews:
"A tree stump on an urban playground and a girl new to the neighborhood forge a bond with their life stories. This is one of those rare picture books that demands equal attention to lyrical text and outstanding art (always in double-page spreads) to work its magic."
