The Tale of a Tree is a quiet story featuring a Douglas Fir tree who lives in a yard. Once Tree gains awareness of the world around him, he begins to see strange things. Fir trees begin to arrive in the neighborhood in the backs of trucks and on the tops of cars. People place them inside their homes, in the windows, with views of the street. After a while, they decorate them. Tree doesn't understand these new developments. They raise questions about his own life and future that he must explore and ultimately accept. Enjoy!
