On Abigail's birthday she makes a wish that many children make. She wishes for a pet! But Abigail doesn't want the usual pets that most children want, she wants a tree.

When her tree is little, it is really easy to take care of. What will happen when her tree gets bigger?

This is the perfect book for plant lovers everywhere. It is so fun to see Abigail treating her tree the same way any animal owner would treat their pet. The love she has for her tree is heartwarming.
