The Boy Who Grew a Tree

by Polly Ho Yen

When a new baby shifts everything at home, Timi finds peace in an unlikely place—a tiny tree tucked in the corner of his local library. But the tree has a mind of its own, growing faster than seems possible. As the library faces closure and the branches stretch higher, Timi must act. Saving the tree could mean saving more than just a building—it could mean bringing a whole neighbourhood back to life.
