A haunting eco tale from award-winning author-illustrator Emily Haworth-Booth
Once upon a time a group of friends were seeking a place to call home. The desert was too hot, the valley was too wet and the mountain was too windy. Then they found the forest. It was perfect. The leaves gave shelter from the sun and rain, and a gentle breeze wound through the branches. But the friends soon wanted to build shelters. The shelters became houses, then the houses got bigger. All too soon the people wanted to control the environment and build a huge wooden wall around the community. It seemed that the more wood they used, the more they needed. Tree by tree the forest becomes thinner, until there is just one last tree standing. It is down to the children to find a solution.
