When a tiny boab nut travels on the back of a bird far from the land of his ancestors he struggles to grow and survive in this unknown ground. Boab knew he had to return to his family. His new friends, the animals of the forest floor, work together to take the little boab tree back to his ancestral home and the land he knows.
The Boab Tree is a beautiful story about connection to country and ancestors with memories passed down through generations. This is a story about friends banding together and helping one another.
Helen Milroy captures the colours of country in her beautiful, bold double page spreads with text on one page and illustrations on the facing page.
The Boab Tree is an enchanting read-aloud story to share with your child. It would make the perfect bedtime story read over a few nights.
My rating 4 / 5 🌴🌴🌴🌴
