I felt like the forest itself was talking to us as we drove under some of the biggest trees in the world. Listening to Red, the tree, tell her story made the forest around us come alive. I had no idea that Wishtree was told from the perspective of a tree. We listened to the audiobook and followed along in the book as we drove among the huge trees. It must have been fate to find Wishtree at the library right before our road trip to the Redwoods. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experiences as a wishtree are more important than ever. Along with her crow friend Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this "wishtree" watches over the neighborhood.
Red is the neighborhood "wishtree"-people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches.
Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Trees can't tell jokes, but they can certainly tell stories.
