This is for a friend. It's a children's book. An old woman finds three strange seeds. She plants them all, but a bird steals one, and one gets washed away by rain/flood/storm. Each time one goes missing she says something like 'Oh well, I still have x number of seeds, we shall see what we shall see.' She builds up around the final seed, and the seed grows into a magical tree that grows presents. Lots of people come to get presents from the tree, and each present has some sort of beautiful object inside. Then one day, a princess comes along and picks a present from the tree, she gets some sort of golden or jeweled horse, and her response is along the lines of 'eh, I have lots of these in my palace' and picks all the remaining presents off the tree. On her way home, she begins opening the presents, and they are all empty due to her greed. The princess has tan/dark skin. The cover MAY have been the old woman tending her seeds.
