A story about what is most important in life, and the joys of being happy and content with your life.

There's a subtlety to this that is quite nice.

Other reviewers are saying this book was 'message heavy.' What message? I didn't get it.

Technically this title belongs on the Children's shelf. But I think it's a bona fide crossover tale that, while masquerading as another picture book, holds wisdom for all ages. What would happen if money grew on trees?

I sense there's something profound going on here, but I'm not sure I can discern what it is. That money will soon pass away? That the rhythms of life matter more than a tree that is here today and gone tomorrow? The serenity of the protagonist amid the frenzy of her neighbors appeals to me. Haunting.

I read this for the reading rush, but I don't know what challenge it accomplished I think I read it to read my goal of seven books.
This is one of my childhood books. I didn't understand the deeper meaning as a kid, but I loved the art of it. But now, I know the story explains how chasing money is not the meaning to a happy and peaceful life. I love how the story uses nature and seasons to deliver this message. I love love love this book.

A strange little fantasy book about a money tree that appears in a field near a woman's house. I could see this being used as a discussion starter when kids are studying money/finances etc. As always, Small's art is gorgeous.
