I did really enjoy the illustrations of this picture book. It tells the story of a girl who is convinced two trees have a friendship and works to make sure they are connected to each other to support each other. I liked the way the text repeated "Britta's dad said..." "Bronwyn said, less nicely...." etc. I also liked how encouraging Britta's grandmother was and the theme of unlikely friendships being some of the best.
