That's my tree

The squirrel loves trees. But most of all, it loves its tree, its shade, its pinecones, and its place in the world. And it doesn’t think much of the idea of sharing this tree with others. But how do you protect something that’s so important to you? With a gate? A fence? A wall?

The higher the wall grows, the bigger the question becomes: What’s actually behind this wall? And are you really happy when you shut out everything that seems foreign to you?

This humorous yet thought-provoking picture book for children ages 3 and up shows how quickly the desire for protection can turn into isolation and how important it is to question boundaries. With subtle humor and a clear perspective, the story illustrates how sharing, openness, and curiosity enrich life.
