The Living Tree

By Weston Gold

Beneath the shadow of Mythic Mountain, high above Lantern Valley, stands a great glowing StarPine unlike any tree the villagers have ever known.

By day, its needles shimmer deep green beneath the mountain winds.

But by night...

tiny lights awaken at the tips of its branches like stars caught in the needles, and its pinecones glow softly with living light.

For generations, the people of Lantern Valley have looked to the great tree as a symbol of warmth, hope, and remembrance.

And no one loves the StarPine more than a quiet boy who climbs the snowy hill each evening to sit beneath its glowing boughs and listen to the wind move through the branches.

But when the coldest winter in memory descends upon the valley, the Living Tree is faced with a choice that will change Lantern Valley forever.

A breathtaking mythic tale of sacrifice, renewal, and the Light that never dies, The Living Tree is a timeless illustrated story that children will want read again and again-and one families will remember long after the final page.
