Macey has always liked books. The library is her favorite place to visit; after all, the books are there. She reads a lot, and her weekly trips to her favorite place is always exciting for her.

There is a moss-covered Southern live oak growing in front of the library. Macey likes the tree so much she named her Molly. Molly likes Macey so much one day she sneezes, and it sets off the beginning of an amazing talking friendship between a ten-year-old little girl and a one-hundred-year-old tree.
