El último árbol, by Margarita Pérez García

Description

It is the year 2064 and the Amazon rainforest is gone. All the trees have been cut down and all that remains is one ancient tree, an indigenous woman and a little blue bird. Follow the bird on its journey through a grey, empty world in search of a colorful future, trying to save those left behind and what's left of the forest. The story of EL ÚLTIMO ÁRBOL - The Last Tree - invites us to imagine a world where most of the trees have disappeared. But it is not a sad story. It's a story of hope, because we can still do something; it's not too late to save the forest. Sometimes hope for a better future is all it takes to make us act. Hope can be a thing with feathers. Maybe just a little blue bird... EL ÚLTIMO ÁRBOL is a heartwarming story with a powerful message in simple Spanish. Read it with your Spanish-speaking family to celebrate y

Destined to become a classic

Margarita and Trish's new book, El último árbol, breaks new ground among comprehensible readers for language learners as a large-size picture book with each page featuring a full-spread, gorgeous work of art. The book is stunning for Trish's art alone. On top of the visual feast, Margarita's words are poetically crafted and accessible to a tremendously wide range of readers -- from children to adults, language novices to language experts, emerging readers to experienced readers, and everyone in between. It is a book for everyone.

And the message -- the message is one for the entire planet, for trees, birds, and even humans. It shows the power of community and tenacity as we hope... dream... plant... and create new beginnings out of the shell of something dying. This is a book about life, and one to carry with us for life.

I hope this is just the beginning of many comprehensible picture books to come.

Bravo, bravo, bravo to Margarita and Trish.
