Description
In a neighborhood where stories grow as surely as branches, Red the oak tree has long served as a living “wishtree,” bearing the hopes of everyone who ties wishes to her limbs. As seasons turn, Red and her crow companion Bongo shelter a community of animals and witness the quiet joys and small sorrows that shape the block. When a new family arrives, the neighborhood’s tensions test what it means to belong—and Red’s perspective becomes a powerful lens on empathy, change, and the bonds that hold people and creatures together. With lyrical, accessible storytelling and a warm, emotionally resonant voice, this novel invites readers to see the world through nature’s memory and to consider how kindness can take root even in uncertain times.
