One little girl’s bond with the Baobab trees in her local forest shows how even young children can help to look after trees.
Can you love and care for your Baobab tree so it grows big and healthy like Dad’s tree?” asks Grandma. And Eve says, “YES, I CAN!”
Eve loves all the trees in the forest near her home. She feels their magic, but her favourite is the Baobab tree. If only she could talk to the trees! Then, on a birthday visit to Grandma, deep in the forest, Eve gets a magical surprise. What could it be? It’s something that Eve must take care of, something that will connect her for ever with the forest she loves. Happy birthday, Eco Girl!
An inspirational and heart-warming book for younger children that shows the importance of looking after the trees in our world.
