“The neem by your gate and the coconut palm next door both have stories in here. Afterwards, walks down your street turn into a hunt for the trees in the book.”
Why does the coconut have eyes? Thatha has a story.
Tracing Roots: Stories About Trees is an illustrated collection of twelve myths, legends and folktales, each one built around a tree.
Sitting under a mango tree he planted as a boy, Thatha leads Samar, Maya, Shyam and Nisha on a story journey across India and beyond. In one tale, a jackfruit tree helps Birbal solve a robbery. After each story come a few facts and bits of trivia about the tree itself.
Why children love it
- Clever twists, like a cobbler who proves his wisdom with one tiny seed.
- Tales of trees from neem and peepal to khejri, ber and silk cotton.
- Leafy art in rich greens and golds, starting with a canopy of leaves on the cover.
