Synopsis

Rosamund as a girl was told by her departing mother to wait and so for many, many years, she did just that. When a storm breaks a branch from the oak tree, which punches a hole in her roof, Rosamund has to face the reality that she is no longer a girl, and that her mother is not coming back... and so therefore she has to start living her life.

Throughout the day she meets a young prince who checks in to see if she needs saving, a ram who loves her thick green grass, and a tiger who loves to eat rams.

She learns that she has the power within herself to be happy and healthy, that she doesnít need saving, and that life--like her--is really quite beautiful.
