Description
Two sisters, Hamo and Ela, live on the edge of an enchanting rain forest, making a living by selling fruits that they pick from the forest. When soldiers raze the trees to the ground, the sisters must try to find a new way of life. Then unusual things begin to happen...Letter pressed on tea-stained handmade paper and clad in a clothbound cover, THE TREE GIRL takes the reader into the aura of an older world. Coloured hand-made inserts enhance the lyrical text, evoking an atmosphere bound to enchant readers across various age groups.
