Did you know that olive trees are a universal symbol of peace and a powerful symbol of Palestinian rootedness in their land? The average lifespan of an olive tree is 300-600 years, but some can live as long as 3,000 years.
This beautiful story takes you to the perspective of an ancient olive tree that has witnessed the unfolding tales of centuries. From the peaceful times under Umar Al-Khattab's rule, to the tumultuous time of the Crusaders and the triumphant return to peace by Salahuddin Ayyubi.
Then the tree meets a seven year old Palestinian girl who shows what it means to have everything taken away, yet remain strong.
