When war divides two sides of an island, a solitary tree brings together two children across the lines, in this touching story about peace, community, and forgiveness.
On the sunny island of Cyprus, a tall and lonely fig tree stands. Her fruit ripens, yet no one comes to share it. Years of fear and division have split the island in two, leaving her in the middle, alone. She remembers the conflict that tore her people apart, but she also remembers the warm days before, when laughter and friendship knew no boundaries.

Yet, with changing seasons comes renewed hope, and the old tree dreams of a future where sharing summer’s first figs might mend those broken bonds.

In this heartwarming picture book by Costantia Manoli, brought to life with Leah Giles’s vibrant illustrations, the shadows of the past give way to a bright future where children put aside fear and distrust to discover that even the deepest rifts can be bridged by the simple act of sharing.

Costantia Manoli was born in the United Kingdom to Cypriot parents and spent the picture book period of her life in London contending with a name that even she has difficulty pronouncing in English! Nowadays, her two daughters, hubby, lioness-dog Luna and hyperactive doggo Woody keep her busy in a tangle of story ideas, new characters, and constant interruptions. She and her family live in Cyprus. Costantiamanoli.com Leah Giles grew up outside of Toronto, Canada. From an early age, she could be found drawing pigs and superheroes in her dad's antique books. Leah now resides in a noisy little apartment in Brooklyn, NY, where she splatters paint and collages paper to create stories that celebrate joy. Leah is a fan of all things brightly bold, colourfully collaged, and radically lovely. Most of the time, she can be found with her kitten napping on her shoulder while she draws. leahgiles.com
