Overview
In the heart of a village, the tree stands firm while the lives in the community change around it. When plans to build a market threaten the tree's existence, one girl strives to save it. Will her voice be heard?
The beginning of this beautifully illustrated picture book tells the tale of a communal space enjoyed by villagers over the years, and centred around a huge old tree. We meet a girl who has grown up with the tree being an important part of her life. So, when plans for a market are proposed in place of the magnificent tree, what will happen? Children will explore the significance of the tree to the community and suggest how certain people may feel about the plans to remove it. Children will also explore the need for development versus conservation of wildlife.
