Ollie Alexander Kandersteen, successful amateur gardener, longs to
be a tree: Strong. Tall. And mighty enough to stand up to Everett,
the bully next door. Ollie is rather short for his age, and when
things are too heavy or too high to reach, Everett is sure to point
it out. Ollie wilts, he withers. Inside and out, he feels small.
But when Everett, feeling jealous of Ollie's gardening skills,
steals Ollie's sapling, an idea takes root... "I couldn't. I
shouldn't." But he does! Ollie SWALLOWS an acorn. He waits,
wonders, and rumbles ... Burp! With a little care and cultivation,
a tree-mendous transformation begins! Ollie's feet root, his arms
branch, his locks leaf, and his limbs stretch to the clouds. He's
finally strong and tall enough to confront Everett. But when he
does, he finds out that being the biggest doesn't always mean
you're the mightiest and getting even with a bully might just make
you feel smaller than ever. Readers of all ages will root for and
relate to Ollie in this whimsical story about working together
despite differences, the power of kindness, and what it truly means
to be mighty.
