The first time that the trees began to walk, Mae wore pink onesies and couldn’t yet talk. She lived with her mother at the end of the road, and they had two trees that lived with them.
One was a big gray maple called Old Mother. She had a scratchy beard of moss that grew on the side of her head. The other was Long Branch, but he was young and thin and angry dropping prickle-pods to hurt her toes.
