At the edge of the forest rises a most unusual block of flats. It is not made of concrete or iron. Instead it has a huge trunk, large branches and bright green leaves: we're talking about a large oak. Chaffinches, sparrows and wagtails are its winged occupants. They spend their days just like all next-door neighbours. They play, gossip, argue and become friends again. They search for food, bring up their little ones and chase their enemies away...A tender book that won the Pier Paolo Vergerio prize for its beautiful story and illustration.
