Tree of Lights

Describe this image.
How does it make you feel? Why do you think that is?
Why are there lights hanging in the tree? Who put them there? What about the violin, the teapot, the boat and the little house?
What are the things glowing at the base of the tree?
Is this a special tree? What is special about it?
How old is the tree?
Who is the girl?
Is the bird going to land on her hand? Why? Do they know each other? What kind of bird is it?
Has the girl been here before?
Look beyond the tree. Where is this?

One of my pupils has made this remark about the image:
‘If the girl was that small she could just jump out of the cage because she would fit through the bars but she wants to stay there a bit longer because she wants to see the bird.’
