Fox has lived a long, full life. Tired and at peace, he lies down in the snow and goes to sleep forever.

Each story, from his bright laugh to his clever tricks, takes root in the snow. As they talk, a small tree grows, stretching higher and wider, until it becomes a warm, glowing “memory tree” that shelters them all through the seasons.
