Maddox is a huge White Oak tree who has all kinds of stories to tell about his life in the park with his animal friends. Being a gifted tree, he has the ability to hear and understand people. One day a little boy named Aiden and his dog Sheba are playing in the park near his house when he thinks he hears someone speaking to him. When Aiden looks and doesn't see anyone, he realizes his friends must be playing a trick on him. However, he gets a little spooked when none of his friends reveal themselves. He concludes it must have been a tree talking to him, but how it that possible when trees don't talk, or do they? When Maddox learns that Aiden can hear him speaking, the fun begins.
