Bookroo's summary

A young boy selects a sapling that grows alongside him for eighty years. As he becomes a father and grandfather, the spruce transforms into a majestic tree. Now, at the end of its life, it embarks on a journey from the countryside to the city, becoming the heart of a holiday celebration. Witness the intertwining of life and nature as the tree unites people of all ages in a festive gathering. What stories does this evergreen hold, and how will it be remembered?

From the publisher

Over the course of eighty years a spruce tree grows, along with the little boy who first selected it at a tree farm. As the tree grows from sapling to magnificent evergreen, the child matures as well, becoming a father and then grandfather. Now at the end of its life, the glorious tree is chosen to be the centerpiece of a city’s holiday celebration. The tree journeys from rural countryside to big city center, where everyone, young and old, comes together to celebrate a tree for all; everybody’s tree.
