What is The heart of the wood about?
In the heart of Winderly Woods, a tall sycamore shelters a singing mockingbird. But when the tree is cut down, its journey is far from over. The wood is shaped by a woodcarver into a beautiful fiddle, carrying the memory of the forest within it. When the fiddle is played, its music fills the air with joy, bringing people together to dance. This rhythmic, cumulative tale celebrates nature, craftsmanship and the lasting life of a tree through art and music.
