Eugene, the architect, is renowned for his architectural designs that exude a sense of incredible straightness and orderliness. His latest creation, an enormous house with perfectly perpendicular walls and windows, is a testament to his skill and craftsmanship. However, one day, Eugene is left surprised when he discovers a tree growing in what will become the house's living room. Instead of immediately cutting it down, Eugene decides to study the tree, marveling at the way its branches, roots, leaves, and trunk grow in elegant proportions.
As Eugene delves deeper into his observations, he begins to see nature in a completely new light.

The tree, with its intricate branching structure and vibrant greenery, embodies a sense of balance and harmony that is truly captivating.

Through Thibaut Rassats illustrations, this story encourages young readers to appreciate the world around them and to embrace the unexpected surprises that life has to offer.
