Awarded at the 2022 Moonbeam Children's Awards GOLD medal - Winner
of the 2023 Independent Publisher Book Awards. Moving to a new city
can be a heartbreaking experience, but also an opportunity to grow.
This Birch Tree will realize that even in the darkest spots, one
can shine brighter than ever. The day they took me out of my home
and loaded me onto a truck changed everything. I went from living
surrounded by nature, with my brothers, to ending up girdled by
towering buildings in a polluted, noisy city. I was homesick.
Accepting that change was extremely difficult, but then I started
to realize that the city was not that bad after all. A friendly
gardener took care of me. He watered my soil, gave me fertilizer,
and trimmed my dry branches so that a pair of finches could nest in
them. I began to feel very useful, as I gave people my shade, my
oxygen, and my gently-flavored seeds. I soon understood that hope
and love could manifest anywhere in the world, so I decided to put
down roots. A story that invites us to see adversities as
opportunities, and to trust that changes, despite surprising us,
can help us grow.
