A tender tale about the power of imagination and a mother's love, this story tells about a little boy who looks for a shelter from the imposing and sometimes frightening world of adults. He finds refuge in the branches of a fig tree, where he plays and has fun with friends and, most importantly, is safe from outside influences. Even when pain and sorrow threaten his carefully constructed world, though, he knows he can take comfort in the arms of his mother.
