Summary
This book chronicles the story of Little Tree who has suffered
extensive damage from a storm in the forest. The wizards Fixumup
and Imageen help her see that she has a good heart and strong roots
and that someday she will discover something very special about
herself. She is challenged to accept that part of her healing process
involves loosing some of her branches to help the healthy ones thrive
and learning to accept that she will look different. Little Tree
began to picture herself in the future with beautiful leaves, flowers
and fruit that she can share with her friends in the forest and
wondered if that is what Imageen meant by the reference to something
special.
