Publisher's Synopsis
Illustrated by Indrapramit Roy. Silk-screened by hand on handmade paper, this story for all ages tells of two sisters, Hamo and Ela, who live on the edge of a great rainforest. When soldiers raze the trees to the ground, the sisters must try to find a new way of life. Then strange things begin to happen... Inspired by an Indian folktale, The Tree Girl is a lyrical fable about the connections between human beings and nature. The atmospheric art in this handsome book is set off against full-colour, handmade inserts.
