A Tree In My Village (English)

The huge arjuna tree teems with birds, animals and insects that play out their own mesmerising stories! Well-known artist Paritosh Sen watches and records all of this in loving detail to reveal the remarkable chain of life, the interdependence of all living things. Apart from being an invaluable lesson in ecology, this book is a fascinating visual experience. The writing too has a painterly quality, matching the drama and delicacy of the pen-and-ink sketches washed with watercolour. At the end of the book is a section that introduces children to the life and work of the artist.
