Crataegus is a brave little hawthorn tree, but living all alone in the park can get very lonely. He wishes more than anything for a true friend to talk to every day. Everything changes one stormy night when a fierce wind destroys the fairy family's cozy mushroom home. Wet, cold, and looking for shelter, the fairies wander through the park until they cross paths with Crataegus. With a big heart and strong roots, Crataegus offers them the perfect safe haven under his trunk. This heartwarming tale of kindness shows how opening your home can create a friendship that lasts forever.
