"Whimsical... readers can unleash their own imaginations.” —New York Times
Fans of Peter Brown and Jon Klassen will cherish this inspiring story about exploration, curiosity and an unexpected discovery.
There are wonders all around us ... Why not go see what you can find?
Every day, perched high up in her tree house, a girl surveys the distant forest through her binoculars. She knows every plant and animal.
But look! A strange new tree appears, towering above all the others. Where did it come from? Is it really a tree?
Intrigued, the girl sets off to take a closer look. Just to see…
Whimsical illustrations bring humor to an inspirational story about staying curious, finding wonder in nature, and seeing the familiar in new and unexpected ways.
