| A prose poem to the baobab tree, celebrating all the wonderful creatures that live in and around the 'upside-down' tree of the African plain.
Winner, Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children 2001. “A story of the huge baobab tree in all its moods, more poetry than prose, with lavish wild-life illustration.” “It seems entirely appropriate to introduce a child to a tree of such mythic proportions and status in colourful and elevated language.” “Lush illustrations and lyrical prose convey the respect that this tree deserves.” “What a lovely book! Both the language and the illustrations are exceptional.” Frances Lincoln, 2000 P/b ISBN 0-7112-1491-3 |
