Bye bye Baby

A tree stands in Frederiksberg Gardens, Copenhagen, covered with children’s dummies, pictures, and letters of goodbye. Hanging a comforter on The Pacifier Tree at the age of three is a rite of passage for Danish toddlers. It helps them to make a difficult transition, and produces a beautifully strange homage to early childhood, right in the center of the city.
