A gently humorous and thoroughly recognizable (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book meditation on what makes a home, what makes a family, and how a magical tree can hold everythingand everyonetogether.

Nothing ever really happens at Pennys house. Its all hurry in and hurry out again. But then, something wonderful and unexpected appears that gets everyones attention. It starts out small, just a seed, then grows and grows until its simply too big to ignore: a tree!

Every day, the tree gets a little taller, a little leafier, and a lot more special. And every day, as they care for the tree, Pennys family starts to hurry out less and stay in more. Could something else be shifting in Pennys house, something much more than a tree?
