“Spruce is a lonely tree who grows beyond the treeline, deep in the tundra. He has never seen another tree. With each passing season, Spruce meets wandering wildlife, but they can never stay long. Just when it seems as if Spruce will be lonely forever, Spruce’s new friendship really takes root. The Last Tree shines with a northern spirit of resilience and renewal, reminding readers that when someone plants kindness, even the loneliest hearts can bloom.”
