Product Description
In a brilliant combination of lyrical prose and glowing watercolors, acclaimed author/artist Barbara Bash captures the soul of the ancient and sacred banyan, painting a vivid picture of its importance to the people and other life forms that flourish beneath and within its welcoming branches. Both beautiful and enlightening, this book provides a unique glimpse of the interconnectedness of life in a rural culture. < BR>

Should be on every child's bookshelf December 4, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book for both young and older children. Young children will enjoy the beautiful illustrations and the story itself. And although it's an illustrated book rather than a chapter book, it is suitable for older children (even 9 and up). The gift for these older children is seeing how the banyan tree is integrated within the community and how the identity and purpose of the tree is larger than the tree itself. For kids between 8-11, who may be feeling awkward in their bodies and unsure of their role in the world, this is an inspiring and special book. And as a parent I enjoy reading about the unique daily life of the villages whose very structure is centered around the tree, a tree that can span 5 acres (one tree and yet more than one tree at the same time), and about all the creatures who depend on the tree for survival.
