A delicate work of art, which incorporates games of perspective and
contrasting points of view of the same image, this book allows the main

through. Using the same innocent tone as the illustrations, some short texts
tell the story of this strong little tree which, even after being chopped down, is
reborn with the simple actions of a child.

Rudyard Kipling (Bombay, 1865 – London, 1936) was born in India, where his father was a professor at the Bombay
School of Art. At the age of six he was sent with his sister to study in England, where his talent for prose poetry was
soon revealed. He returned to India in 1881, where he worked as a journalist and spent his free time writing poems,
stories and tales for children. Several of his stories were published in England in 1888, and when he returned in 1889
he was received as a famous author. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907, becoming the first English author
to be honoured with this award. His most famous works are those set in India, and especially The Jungle Book.
