Clara loves stories about a magic tree deep in the forest, with a gift for whoever finds it. When she knocks on a tiny door in a giant old tree, a fairy named Liora gives her a glowing crystal. On the way home, Clara sits down beside Max, a sad boy who has lost his ball. Come see what happens when she does.
In a cozy village by a magic forest lived a curious girl named Clara. In the evenings, she sat by the crackling campfire with Mom and Dad. She loved their stories about the forest and all its wonders.
Clara’s favorite stories told of a magic tree deep, deep in the forest. Something wonderful lived inside it, with a gift for whoever found it. Oh, how Clara wanted to find it!
One sunny morning, Clara had a big idea. She would go into the forest and look for the magic tree! Into her little bag went a few snacks, some water, and a tiny notebook. Her feet just wouldn’t keep still.
Down the forest path Clara went—skip, skip, hop! Sunlight peeked through the thick green leaves, and the whole path sparkled like gold.
Farther and farther she went. The trees grew taller and taller, and birds sang high overhead. Then Clara stopped. In front of her stood a giant old tree. In its trunk was a tiny door, old as old could be. Clara gasped. Could this be the magic tree?
Clara’s heart went thump. But she just had to know what was inside. Knock, knock! Creeeak… the little door swung open.
