Kenzie, a young boy living in the countryside, discovers an unexpected connection with an old tree on his family's property. As he navigates his years in school, his family and personal relationships, and his friendships he learns valuable life lessons about the requirements of friendship, responsibility, and the ability to respond, and the importance of listening to the world around you.
Through his encounters with the wise old tree, Kenzie gains a deeper understanding of the natural world and its workings, the passage of time in seasons, and the interconnectedness of all living things. The Friend is a story about finding solace and truth, embracing your responsibilities as a friend, and discovering the profound wisdom in integrity, and most importantly, the kindness that can be found in all of us at the most unexpected times.
