This is a truly gorgeous picture book with beautiful illustrations. In the story the older tree teaches the younger tree all about how to live life and form precious memories to hold on to.
There are so many lovely quotes:
'Some moments you must let go
But remember to keep the dear ones near
For good memories will shelter you from the storm
And the great ones will keep you warm '
The memories are represented by leaves in the story. It shows the passing of the older tree (cleverly represented through the change of the seasons into winter) and the younger tree continuing to carry on with life and form new memories. At the same time the older memories live on with the younger tree.
I loved this story and found it quite an emotional but beautiful book to read. A perfect book to share with children. Many interesting discussions could be prompted by reading this together.
This book will be published on 2nd September .
Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Children's Books for this eARC.

*I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
This book!!! I cannot even begin to explain how beautiful I found this book.
The art, the words and the emotion. I fell in love with this book.

A truly whimsical, comforting narrative about the seasons of life with beautiful, cosy, and somber at times, drawings and colours.
