Sinossi

Two small squirrels. One impossible journey. And a little wonder worth bringing home.

Beyond seven frozen rivers, somewhere past the edge of every sensible map, there is said to stand a tree whose highest branches touch the moon.

Hazel and Thistle mean to find it.

With Hazel's satchel, Thistle's green scarf, and far more courage than two small squirrels should reasonably need, they leave the safety of their forest and follow a road filled with impossible things.

They sail the mysterious River of Whispers, outwit a cunning fox captain aboard his ship of thorns, bargain with the one-eyed Owl of Midnight, and follow a secret map revealed on the shimmering wings of a luna moth. Beyond frozen country and strange seas, they climb higher and farther than any squirrel has gone before.

But at the top of the Tree That Touched the Moon, Hazel and Thistle discover something unexpected.

The greatest treasure is not the one we keep.

It is the one we carry home, plant in the earth, and share with everyone.

The Tree That Touched the Moon is a lyrical, fully illustrated fairy tale about courage, friendship, curiosity, and the quiet truth that doing good for the world around us also makes our own lives richer.

With luminous watercolor-and-colored-pencil illustrations throughout, this newly reimagined edition invites young readers into a wildwood of moonlit paths, whispering rivers, strange creatures, and small heroes brave enough to venture beyond the familiar.

Perfect for ages 4-9 and family read-alouds, for children who love woodland adventures, classic fairy tales, magical journeys, and stories that leave a little something to wonder about after the final page.
