Apple and Magnolia, two of Britta's favourite trees, are close friends. Britta is unable to articulate why she is so certain of their friendship, but she knows in her heart that it is real. Then, one day, the branches of the Magnolia begin to droop. Her bark develops blotches. Her leaves deteriorate... Can Britta figure out a method to keep Magnolia warm over the winter? This sweet tale examines the mystery of trees, the wonder of nature, and one girl's hope, determination, and caring spirit via the beautiful images of illustrator Patricia Metola.
