About the book
Old Oak is having a mast year - a year of plentiful fruit! Little Acorn grows happily right by his nose, and never wants to leave the tree. Then, when a brisk wind blows, and he tumbles to the ground, a whole new life must begin! Carried away by a squirrel, and buried in a strange place, he must survive all the perils of walkers, insects, deer and other wildlife. Finally emerging as a sturdy little sapling, he discovers he is still in the barley field, growing near Old Oak, whose sap rises with pride to see his favourite Little Acorn becoming a tree. A poignant story, Old Oak and Little Acorn is also an allegory for childhood.
