Why plant or protect a tree? Trees give us clean air, offer food and shelter to birds, insects, and small animals, and help slow climate change. But we’re losing trees at an alarming rate, and with them, the natural balance they support. In this powerful wordless story from South Africa, a young girl notices the quiet beauty and importance of a single tree—one her brother wants to cut down because its falling leaves annoy him. With no words, only expressive images, this tale gently reminds us that even one tree matters.
