Award-winning author Tim Tipene reinterprets the pakiwaitara of Rata and the tree in the context of a modern New Zealand suburb. Over the protests of his kids, Dad sets to work to cut down a tree to get 'a better view' -- only for a chorus of birds and insects to put it back together overnight. The battle of wills between the blade and nature goes on until Dad sees the light, in this companion Tim's successful picture books Maui - Sun Catcher/Te Kaihao i te Ra and Rona Moon/Ko Rona Mahina (both Storylines Notable Book Award winners).
