Synopsis
"Dramatic watercolor illustrations . . . and an engaging text make this another outstanding nature title by the author of Desert Giant. Bash describes the life cycle of a tree that lives on the African savannah and the insects, birds, adn animals that rely on it for home, food, and survival. . . . The illustrations . . . are breathtaking."
--Kirkus, pointer review
"Complementing Bash's calligraphic text are stunning watercolor illustrations [in which] she beautifully portrays the sparse African landscape. . . . A subject rarely treated in picture book format, this will make a beautiful introduction to the African ecosystem."
--Booklist, starred review

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
In the oldest times, as the !Kung Bushmen of Africa tell the story, the Great Spirit gave each animal a tree to plant. Hyena arrived late and was given the very last tree, the baobab. Being a careless creature, he planted it upside down--and that is why its branches look like gnarled roots.
