'A joyous celebration of life's journey and the joys and sorrows of growing up, beautifully told through the metaphor of a tiny tree who longs to be bigger.
'In this moving tale of friendship, nature and the cycle of life, a little seedling longs to be bigger. A big tree tells him to be patient, assuring him that one day, he will have his day in the sun. Time passes, and through sun and rain the little tree grows. The little and big trees weather life's storms side-by-side, until one journey is finally complete and a new one is ready to begin. The-Not-so-Little Tree is a lyrical and life-affirming story of the joys and sorrows of growing up and the importance of being patient and enjoying the wonderous journey of life.'
