A picture book of great beauty and hope, with a powerful 'green' message about the power we have to transform our world. A young thief snatches an old woman's bag, but finds she can't have it without promising to 'plant them all.' The bag is full of acorns, and the thief embarks on a journey that changes her own life and that of generations to come.
