THE PAPER-FLOWER TREE

Jacqueline Ayer | Enchanted Lion, USA | 40pp | 10 x 7 ¾ inches

One wonderful day, an old peddler came to the small village in faraway Thailand where a little girl called Miss Moon lived. With him he brought a tree, fashioned of brightly colored paper flowers. How Miss Moon longed to have such a tree! When the old man, in parting, gave her one of the flowers, she planted its seed – a black bead – and tended it faithfully. Though beads will not grow, Miss Moon’s faith was nevertheless rewarded. Other title available: « Nu Dang and his kite »
