It was there, in the dark, that she had first heard “History,” the time when it was possible to live outside, the time when trees existed. In those days, said his grandfather, who himself got it from his ancestors, there were streams, water, trees filled with fruit. Beautiful birds nested on their branches and life was sweet.

Follow young Dali on a thrilling journey to meet the mysterious father of all trees... Will she succeed in bringing the forest back to her desert world? Will people believe all the stories learned during his journey?
