A grumpy ancient Oak. A naive young Birch. A journey to the end of the world.
For a millennia, Oak has stood in the same city park, watching empires rise and fall, listening to the secrets of humans, and doing exactly what a tree is supposed to do: stand still.
Until one day, he decides he has had enough.
With a ground-shaking crack, Oak pulls his roots from the earth and walks away. He wants to see the Antarctic. He wants to feel the snow. He wants to be free.
But he isn't alone. Trailing behind him is Birch-a scrawny, optimistic sapling who has never seen the world, but refuses to let his hero walk into the unknown alone.
Together, the unlikely duo embarks on an adventure that defies the laws of nature.
From sliding down glaciers with polar bears to a diplomatic misunderstanding involving polite Martians and the US President, Oak and Birch discover a world far stranger and more beautiful than they ever imagined. But as they travel further from the soil they once called home, Oak must face an enemy he cannot outrun: The Rot.
A gentle, surreal, and heartbreakingly beautiful fable for readers of all ages.
Perfect for fans of The Wild Robot, The Little Prince, The Giving Tree, and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, this pocket-sized novella packs a grand adventure into a concise story. It is the perfect length to be savored in a single afternoon or shared as a bedtime read.
