Granny Smith looks after her husband, her children and the trees that grow in her orchard. When one tree doesn’t look like the others, she still helps it get big and strong, to find out what it will be. Could it be the perfect tree or will all her hard work be for nothing? With patience and resilience, from little things, big things grow, including love.
