"Not far from here, I have seen a house held up by the hands of trees. This is its story." - title page.

Over time, growing trees lift an abandoned house from its foundation in this story of decay and renewal. (Miller Library Staff) Built on a treeless yard by a family who cleared away all the sprouting trees on the property, a house is eventually abandoned and left to deteriorate on a lot that is gradually overrun by wild trees, in a poignant tale of loss, change, and nature's quiet triumph.

Recommended for preschool (age 0-5) and primary school (age 6-12).
