Finally, after a long, cold and lonely winter, spring brings both sadness and joy to the little tree. The Lonely Tree is a charmingly illustrated picture book which will help children and their families in times of loss or change with the gentle reassurance that saying goodbye is a natural part of life.Join the old oak, barn owl, ponies and squirrels in this enchanting, life affirming modern classic.
