Description
Hidden in the sand dunes bordering a dusty, 1960s pearling town is a very special tree. Every day, Ella andÿMia’s grandpa comes home from work with a treat from the tree – the best-tasting toast in the world.
Every night, grandpa tells the girls another fantastical tale about the toast tree, with its bright green leavesÿand orange trunk, that only grows in the dunes. Ella and Mia search high and low for the tree, laden withÿsquares of golden-brown toast, but they can never find it.ÿBased on a true story,ÿThe Toast Treeÿis about family, and the search for magic through the power of aÿchild’s imagination, as well as the ability to believe in the impossible.ÿThe book’s beautiful illustrations evocatively capture both the mystical quality of Grandpa’s stories and theÿfondly-remembered simple life of a bygone era.
