In a city far, far away, there once lived a pine in the town square--but not just any ordinary pine--a surly one. This particular pine was very mean and only cared about itself. Animals from all over town begged it to allow them to sit in this tree's shade and play in its branches, but the pine always turned them away.
One day, however, something happens that makes the pine change its surly ways forever. Once the pine truly understands the values of friendship, love, and kindness, it's not so surly anymore. The Surly Pine is a unique fable that both teaches and engages young readers through its unique setting and vivid illustrations.
