One little girl has a very special friend, the tall ancient tree in her backyard. Through
the seasons, she grows along with the tree, playing in its branches and basking in its
shade. She can swing and have a picnic, draw the tree and play hide and go seek.
Through her time with her tree, the girl learns to appreciate the natural world as
something to be savored and protected and acknowledges her place within it. The
Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler’s emotional
development, from conquering fears and expressing feelings to welcoming a new
sibling.
