Have you ever wondered why pine trees stay green all winter long
and don t lose their leaves like other trees? According to an
ancient legend attributed to the Cherokee Indians, it was a simple
act of kindness towards an injured little bird that earned pine
trees this very honor. Retold by award-winning author Alexis York
Lumbard, this story invites readers to experience a world where
trees and birds speak and interact with each other, and which shows
us that no act of kindness and sharing goes unrewarded. Featuring
beautiful paintings by multiple award-winning illustrator Beatriz
Vidal, you will never look at pine trees in the same way again "
On a secluded island, in a faraway sea, the animals live in peace
and prosperity. But one day, the winds of fate bring humans to
their shore. Down come trees and up go houses, farms, and a
bustling market. The humans capture the animals and put them to
work. A great sadness falls upon the land, and only a young boy
named Adam can hear the animals' cries. Compelled to act, Adam
escapes into the jungle and joins with the remaining free animals,
attempting to summon the Spirit King Bersaf. Will the king bring
the humans to trial for their harmful actions? Will justice be had?
Will balance return to land, sea, and sky? This multicultural
environmental tale is inspired by a 1,000 year old animal fable
from 10th century Muslim Iraq, which was originally translated by a
Jewish rabbi at the command of a Christian king in the 14th
century.
