Oh what a heartbreaking yet all-too-common story. And felt even more painfully from the brilliantly sensitive perspective of the maple and her family. I adored this story, found myself wishing it could be illustrated and shared with every student young and old, opening pathways of empathy between humans and nature. Thank you Julie. This, I will remember forever.

Ahhhh, many thanks, Kimberly. I’m so glad you were moved by it. If you’re curious, this was based on a true story that I wrote about here: https://open.substack.com/pub/juliegabrielli/p/where-do-stories-come-from?r=4cg2x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I found this story deeply moving Julie, and beautifully written.
I’m so glad, Marika. Thanks for reading and for letting me know.
This story captured my heart, Julie. Thank you for giving voice to the trees! What would happen if we all listened to their voices the way Sam did?
What, indeed? Thank you for reading and commenting, it means a lot to know this touched you.
