The story of Anne's tree from a previously untold perspective is part of the story of Anne Frank. A large chestnut tree in the backyard watches a girl. It sees her play, laugh, and write in her diary. The girl's name is Anne Frank. The chestnut tree can see how the girl cautiously peeks out from behind the curtains at the window. The tree witnesses the beginning of the war, the arrival of soldiers. It has to watch as Anne Frank and her family are taken away by the Nazis, and it experiences the return of Anne's father after the war - alone. A moving picture book story with impressive illustrations from the perspective of the tree that stood for many years in the courtyard of the secret annex where Anne Frank and her family were hiding. The tree died in the year Anne Frank would have turned 81. But many of its seedlings continue to live on.
