Bookroo's summary

In a serene forest, Fox's life comes to a peaceful end. As his friends gather, they share cherished memories, each story nurturing a growing tree. This tree becomes a symbol of Fox's enduring love and protection, offering comfort and shelter to all. How do these memories transform grief into a living tribute?

From the publisher

A beautiful and heartfelt picture book to help children celebrate the memories left behind when a loved one dies. Fox has lived a long and happy life in the forest, but now he is tired. He lies down in his favourite clearing, and falls asleep for ever. Before long, Fox’s friends begin to gather in the clearing. One by one, they tell stories of the special moments that they shared with Fox. And so, as they share their memories, a tree begins to grow, becoming bigger and stronger with each memory, sheltering and protecting all the animals in the forest, just as Fox did when he was alive. This gentle story about the loss of a loved one is perfect for sharing and will bring comfort to both children and parents.
