When the soldiers finally returned home in 1918, a small seed was planted in their honor. Generations later, that tiny seed has grown into a towering Moreton Bay Fig tree, standing as a living memorial to those who fought and fell. But as the town expands into a busy, modern city, the tree becomes unruly. Its immense roots dislodge statues, its branches create a traffic hazard, and the local council officially decides it must be cut down. A young boy listens as his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather share the moving history of this immense tree. Each man has lived through a different war, and each carries profound memories tied to the sprawling branches and deep shadows of the memorial. They must decide what to remember, what to protect, and what it truly means to never forget. Blending a sensitive, emotional narrative with brilliantly original collage artwork, this inspiring story interweaves themes of conflict, memory, and conservation. It serves as a powerful reminder of the lessons hidden in our past, examining the deep significance of respect and the silent strength of nature in a changing world.
