A lovely little story that could help young children to recognise overcome their fears.

The story of a compassionate little boy who worries about the new tree his family plant in the backyard. Finn is worried that the little tree maybe cold, lonely and hungry.

He gives the tree his scarf to keep warm and in the morning after eating his breakfast decides to try and feed the tree.

Finn is scared of the dark so when his light is turned out at night he peeks out of the window and sees that his tree friend isn't scared and he takes strength from his friend. A sweet story showing kindness, empathy and care for others.
