The Baobab Tree

Usborne Little Board Books

by Lesley Sims, Jesús López (Illustrator)

Long ago, the gods created the Baobab tree… and the Baobab tree was not happy. It didn't like the weather, it resented the birds and animals and envied the other trees. Finally the gods tired of its constant complaints and took drastic action.

About the author

Lesley dreamed of being a writer, but studied law as her mother insisted she had "something to fall back on". Since joining Usborne Publishing, she has written and edited hundreds of books, from funny rhyming stories to an award-winning history book. Nowadays, she is often found recording books, too, in Usborne's very own recording studio.

I know...you might call this cheating in regards to my goals this year, but I just had to read this children's book before I gave it to our grandkids. It's a fun little story and made me want to do some research on the Baobab Tree. Enjoy!
