A âgently humorous and thoroughly recognizableâ (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book meditation on what makes a home, what makes a family, and how a magical tree can hold everythingâand everyoneâtogether.
Nothing ever really happens at Pennyâs house. Itâs all hurry in and hurry out again. But then, something wonderful and unexpected appears that gets everyoneâs attention. It starts out small, just a seed, then grows and grows until itâs simply too big to ignore: a tree!
Every day, the tree gets a little taller, a little leafier, and a lot more special. And every day, as they care for the tree, Pennyâs family starts to hurry out less and stay in more. Could something else be shifting in Pennyâs house, something much more than a tree?
