Man-Man and the Tree of Memories

This fantastic book pairs Yaba Badoe’s powerful story of carnival and the shadows of the past with Joelle Avelino’s lively and joyful illustrations. It conjures the magic of dance, friendship and family.

'It was a sheer joy to be able to read this. It is mysterious and magical and true. Children and those who read it to them will love it and long remember it. The illustrations are woven wonderfully around the words; the trees are with you, telling it, writing it. Once read we will know never to take trees or leaves for granted again. A powerful symphony of a story that will resonate for every reader. We hear the wind in the trees on every page. We only have to listen.’ Michael Morpurgo
