One Tree
By Christopher Cheng
Illustrated by Bruce Whatley
One tall tree on the mountain once marked Grandfather’s farm. Now there is a busy city and Grandfather lives with us in our apartment.
Once he told stories but now he stays silent. Until one day, in the city market, I find something precious . . . something that brings Grandfather’s memories alive again.

Reviews
“This book is so simply but beautifully written, and the illustrations so vibrant and effective, … I had to turn back and read it again immediately.”
“One Tree reads like a beloved fable; a story that spans generations and could easily slip into despondency yet buoys hope in the most translucent way as Cheng compares the past with the present.”
