Bookroo's summary

A boy finds solace and joy in a tree that gives him everything he needs as he grows. From childhood swings to building a house and a ship, the tree sacrifices for his happiness. As years pass, the tree fears it will never see him again, but he returns as an old man, seeking the comfort of his lifelong friend. What remains when all is given?

From the publisher

A boy swings in the branches of his favorite tree when he is very young. Later, as an adult, he uses the same branches to build a house and the tree’s trunk to build a ship. Many years pass and the faithful tree fears she will never again see the boy, but he returns as an elderly man to be with his old friend.
