Bookroo's summary

Thomas, a storyteller known for his grand tales, must prove his skills by spending a night alone in the forest. As he ventures into the wilderness, the trees, tired of his boasting, prepare a lesson. Will Thomas find his way home with a new story, or will the forest's dance leave him lost? Discover the unexpected twist that awaits in this tale of nature's wisdom and respect.

From the publisher

Thomas loves to tell stories. Big stories. Stories about how skilled he is on the land. But when one of his friends grows tired of his tall tales, Thomas has to prove how skilled he really is. Taking the challenge to spend a night alone in the forest, Thomas heads into the wilderness. The trees, who have heard his stories, watch him tear off their bark and litter as he goes. And so, while Thomas sleeps, they dance a dance that will leave Thomas with a very different kind of story to tell–if he can find his way home…
