“A Monster Calls” has a very similar premise. Mother, Child, and psychic Tree.

I strongly recommend it.

I’m not sure that’s really the take away. Its just that greening an area doesn’t always result in local benefits. But that evaporation will eventually come down somewhere. Upwards of 4,000 miles away.

If we all rebuilt historical forests we would all benefit.

It’s like if you’re a sewage treatment plant, the better job you do, the more you help people down stream, but it still doesn’t do anything about upstream problems.
