Bookroo's summary

Robbie Raccoon cherishes Old Father Oak, the tree that sheltered him since birth. When Father Oak's leaves begin to fall, Robbie fears for his friend's health. Is the tree cold, tired, or sad? Determined to help, Robbie embarks on a journey with his friends to uncover the mystery of the changing seasons. As they explore, Robbie learns about nature's cycles and discovers hope in planting acorns for the future. Will Robbie find a way to save Father Oak, or is there more to the tree's transformation than meets the eye?

From the publisher

Robbie Raccoon’s favorite friend is Old Father Oak. Robbie was born in Father Oak’s trunk; he spent the spring swinging from Father Oak’s branches; he spent the summer relaxing in the shade of Father Oak’s limbs. But one day Robbie wakes up and notices that Father Oak is losing his leaves. Maybe he is cold. Maybe he is tired. Maybe he is sad. What can Robbie do to help?Readers will delight in following Robbie and his friends as they are introduced to the magic of the changing seasons.
