This whimsical children's story follows the life of a tree, starting off with him as a small sapling living in a forest. The tree shares the things he saw as a younger, smaller tree, including the animals that play around him and what it was like to live in that forest. As he grows, he gets to experience different seasons and settings as the environment he lives in slowly transforms into a city. Over the course of "I Am a Tree," the tree grows to be over 100 years old. As a tall tree with big, strong limbs, he shares his story and experiences with pride.
