A story written with the hope to help create a collective conscience about the importance of the lives of trees, and how our every day actions and traditions are affecting trees, the environment, and inevitably all living things on earth. Wilow is eager to learn about trees, those living giants he's never seen but he's come to love through his mother's stories; especially the story of the day they flew away and saved themselves. Best suited for grades 3-5. Please note this book is meant to create a new vision about tradition, not to suppress traditions by creating a conscience about the lives of trees as living things that deserve respect and the right to live. It relates to the modern activities of logging and traditions that have evolved creating a disconnect between celebrations and nature. This book recognizes how there are some out there still connecting and preserving trees.
