About
Maiko has left his village in Tanzania far behind, moving to North America with his aunt and uncle. When he thinks of home he thinks of the large Baobab at the centre of the village. Maiko adopts the spruce tree in the front yard of his new hom - it's seven years old, the same as him. The tree sings to him and shares his secrets. When he learns that the roots of the tree are growing too close to the house, putting the little spruce in danger of being cut down, Maiko knows he can't let that happen. He knows all too well what it's like to be small, and planted in the wrong place.
