In the grassy field right next to Alice's house stands a magnificent, ancient oak tree. It has been a beloved landmark for generations, providing cool shade for picnics and sturdy branches for climbing. But one day, Alice notices that the great oak's leaves are starting to wither and fall. Something is terribly wrong. The soil around the tree has been poisoned by illegal pollution, and the beautiful old oak is dying. Alice, her parents, and their neighbors desperately band together, trying everything they can to save their treasured tree. When all their efforts fail to cure the mighty oak, Alice is heartbroken. But she soon remembers a handful of tiny acorns she collected when the tree was still healthy, realizing that even in the face of loss, there is always the gentle promise of new beginnings.
