Goodreads asked Omar Abed:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Omar Abed I wrote "You, Me, and a Tree" to propose to my wife. I wanted a proposal that would last, and that we could always look back on and cherish. When I tried to think of the words to explain my love, the concept for the story of a growing tree came to me. I created a personalized version of the book for my wife, and then realized that the story could be generalized to apply to more readers.
