The children initially feel dissatisfied with the concrete surroundings, then return with a new appreciation of their tower-block community and its life, love and growth.
The children seek a distant tree after becoming tired of concrete, roads and paths, and discover an extraordinary natural world within it.
The magical journey includes a strange old man with magical powers and a gifted amulet. If those elements feel unsettling, pause to explore what seems mysterious rather than assuming the story intends danger.
