Nobody knows one sapling could grow into a huge tree before it actually grows huge. When it was in medium size, they just saw it as an ordinary tree. The tree in town never stopped growing, only then people finally realized, that there was this huge tree standing there. They called it the king of trees, a miracle. It was people’s proud, until it became too huge. People started worried, and decided, to cut it down.
This is a book with trees as its protagonists, a book about human wrestling with nature, and a book reflecting on industrialization and urbanization.

小樹在長成大樹之前，沒有人知道它是大樹。當它長到普通樹的大小時，大家都以為它只是一棵普通的樹。後來它越長越大，人們才發現原來這兒有一棵這麼大的樹。人們在樹下度過愉快的時光。 樹越長越大，被稱作樹王，越來越多的遊客來這裡參觀樹王，小鎮變成了城市。樹王是人們的驕傲。然而樹還在長大，強壯的樹根破壞了人類的房屋，樹蔭遮天蔽日。人們開始擔憂起來，他們不知道樹還會長多大…… 這是一本以樹為主角的書，一本人類與自然角力的書，一本反思工業化和城市化的書。
