Translation of: Le dernier arbre.
A small boy longed to roll and play in the grass like his father had when he was a child. But the boy lived in a concrete city without any grass or trees. Then, one day the boy and his friend discovered a sapling hiding behind a low wall. The boy had never seen a tree before. He was so amazed, he dreamed about the tree. ?I imagined it tall. When they heard that a condominium was being built right on the spot where their tree was growing, the boy and his friend knew they had to dig it up and replant it in a safe place. They had to make sure the last tree survived.

The Last Tree submitted by SBNB on July 21, 2020, 9:37pm This was a nice book. I enjoyed reading it to my kids.

from an 8-year-old and 5-year-old submitted by robinfowler on August 1, 2020, 12:43pm It's about someone who goes biking with his friend. They see a little tree and then a wall collapses over it. They take it home and water it because they think it's the last tree. They live in a city and had never seen a tree before.

There isn't really a message in it. One of my favorite parts was the drawings. People who like realistic fiction will like it.
