Summary: This musical tale follows a robin as she makes her home in an old oak tree, a tree that shelters her and many other creatures from squirrels to foxes to bears--from many storms, and for many seasons. Until one night, when a terrible storm comes. When the tree falls, robin and all of the other animals who have relied on the tree must say goodbye. As the season turns from winter back to spring, the tree, now a nurse log, becomes home to a new kind of life. A tender-hearted story gently exploring the cycle of life and death and rebirth, The Old Oak Tree can be read as either a song or a verse story, and features tactile recycled-paper artwork from celebrated artist Angela Doak and sheet music for budding musicians who want to play along.
