A moving and insightful story of creating a memorial for a loved one, from award-winning author Pip Harry, and award winning illustrator, Christina Booth.

One summer morning, Nick and his family wake up early, and gather precious things to take with them. Today, they will plant a tree - a tree that will reach towards the sun and bring shade to those who rest beneath it. Together they will sow the seeds of a living memorial to someone who has gone before them, but will never be forgotten.

The Goodbye Tree is a poetic and insightful story of a family coming together in grief, and shows how loss can be the source of unexpected gifts.
