AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When Finn’s family plant a tree in the back yard, he feels responsible for it and worries the tree is cold, hungry or lonely. He tries to share his breakfast with the tree, offers it his scarf, and spends the afternoon keeping it company. Just after going to bed, his nightlight goes out and Finn is plunged into darkness. It occurs to him that his tree is outside in the dark, every night!

'When he sees the tree is standing tall and brave in the moonlight and doesn’t seem afraid, Finn is inspired to be brave as well. Finn’s kindness and curiosity end up helping him to overcome his fear of the dark.'
