megatsunami's review against another edition
4.0
This story about a girl whose beloved backyard tree has to be cut down, weaves in themes of grief and loss, connection to the land, and coming together as a community. Spiritual, grounded, and sweet. My daughter loves it and wants to read it repeatedly. My only complaint is that, like other reviewers, I wondered why the ending didn't have her planting new trees.

Love the illustrations, but the text is to moralistic and to many impossible things happen without explanation which is out of place in this realistic context.
