Now it lies on the ground, chopped down. \"It was dead,\" says the arborist. \"Trees die. People think they live forever, but they don't.\" Or don't they? Tove picks up a little branch that escaped the chipper, a branch still green and supple, still holding life. With that, she makes a bold and valiant resolution--and when the weight of her decision grows larger than a small child can handle by herself, the entire neighborhood comes together to support her and the tree they all love. With Larissa Theule's graceful prose and Julie Benbassat's inviting illustrations, a realistic familiarity merges with magical realism in an elegant, moving story with shades of a classic.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larissa Theule\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.2\" H x 6\" L x 0.6\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781536232813\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023399403674,"sku":"9781536232813","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9781536232813.jpg?v=1774721805","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/tove-under-the-tree-larissa-theule-hardcover","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
