An affirming and inspirational story for readers of ALL ages! A majestic tree, who is radiant and robust in spring, summer, and fall, questions the necessity of her bare branches in the cold and darkness of winter. She is reminded by Mother Earth of the importance of winter's stillness-how this cold and quiet season allows Mother Earth to nourish our hearts the most, preparing us for the renewal and rebirth that comes each spring. This majestic tree learns how to find peace in the stillness and to shine her light for all to see. A great book and gift for anyone undergoing change, seeking healing and empowerment, connecting with Mother Earth, or looking for a cozy "feel good" book to inspire the soul.
