The Main Story

Little Johanna arrives at the base of the tree one day as she is running away from home. You can imagine her surprise when the tree starts to talk to her. He listens to her problems and offers ways to approach the different issues she has.

The friendship grows when she returns often or in times of change in her life and always with the same result. She gets advice and most importantly, a listening ear.

The story highlights the idea that listening is a key support to preteens and teenagers and that age-old solutions may often be useful - even nowadays.

Johanna goes through issues such as family relationships, exam stresses, judging others, the importance of saying sorry and more.

With The Listening Tree we highlight the importance of trees in our environment - also for our mental wellbeing.
