A tree stands on a hillside in the sun. It’s tall and strong, but ominously next to it a sign reads ‘land sold’. A close-up shows a nest up in the branches, the next page reveals a drey with squirrel family. A cut away section underground shows a cosy rabbit burrow. Next a truck arrives with two smiling people. Is it imagination or does the tree look like suddenly nervous? A plan shows a fine house on the plot, but no sign of the tree. The people set to with a saw and the animals burst out. Suddenly, with the nest at her feet, we notice that the woman is pregnant. Back to the drawing board they go and after more hammering, there’s a better burrow, a mended nest and a happy house. It’s an important parable delightfully told, a clear, moving demonstration of the importance of sharing the world. ~ Andrea Reece
