In a small village in Japan named Hoshinomura, there was a special cherry blossom tree.

Each spring, the tree grew one large flower that shone like the sun.

This year, a young boy named Kenji found the glowing flower and sang to it.

As Kenji sang, the flower started to grow and grow, turning into a sapling overnight!

The villagers woke up to find a little tree with twinkling leaves instead of the flower.

Kenji promised to sing to the tree each day, which made the tree grow big and strong.

Years passed, and the tree became the heart of Hoshinomura, thanks to Kenji's songs.
