A beautiful exploration of the process of grief, the magic of nature, and life going on after loss. The death of a husband and father prompts a family to make a tree change to a rural property. His daughter Carina searches for a tree grown with seeds that have been into space—a Moon Tree—in the hope that it can transmit a message to her dad.
Each character is authentically portrayed, and their interactions help the reader to build an understanding of how people can be affected very differently by the same experience. It is easy to relate to each character and their behaviours. The book deals with challenging and difficult themes sensitively, realistically and optimistically.
