Audience: Students; Grades: K-3; Subject: Language Arts, Fine Arts. (2007) An artist painting on parchment, tells the story of a tree isolated in a great desert. The story happens in a far-off barren land scorched by the sun, even though it is between two great rivers, one to the East and one to the West. These rivers are dangerous places for the people and their herds because of the many wild beasts that go down to the water's edge to quench their thirst. Standing under the shade of a huge tree, the only tree to be found in that vast plain, an abandoned young boy realizes he is all alone in the world. Then, the adventure begins.
