Once there was a robin As happy as could be Because she lived up in the branches Of an old oak tree An old oak tree A strong oak tree The happiest oak That you ever did see This musical tale follows a robin as she makes her home in an old oak tree, a tree that shelters her and many other creatures-from squirrels to foxes to bears!-from many storms, and for many seasons. Until one night, when a terrible storm comes. When the tree falls, robin and all of the other animals who have relied on the tree must say goodbye. As the season turns from winter back to spring, the tree, now a nurse log, becomes home to a new kind of life.
