Once upon a mountaintop, three little trees stood and dreamed of what they wanted to become when they grew up . . .

So begins this enchanting American folktale about three trees whose wishes come true in a surprising way.

Angela Elwell Hunt's ingenuous retelling of the timeless story will delight readers of all ages, and Tim Jonke's luminous paintings bring a sense of depth and wonder to this classic tale.
