Produktbeschreibung

A boy learns how to care for and weave the roots of the living tree bridges in his village in India in this narrative nonfiction picture book perfect for fans of We Are Water Protectors and The Tree Lady. In the mountains of Meghalaya, India, a living bridge stands tall, connecting the land and its people with the interwoven roots of tall, wide ficus trees. The bridge is called Jingkieng Jri, and it's alive. A little boy can't wait to learn to weave the roots together just like the generations before him. But when he notices litter on the bridge and scars on the roots from people stealing sap, he knows Jinkieng Jri doesn't just need shaping, it needs love. By rallying his community and even visiting tourists, the boy protects the living bridge and shares his message of care.
