How Do You Grow a Family Tree?

Five-year-old Ayash is on a mission: he needs to create a family tree for his school project. But how exactly do you grow one? Do you plant old photographs in the soil? Water them and wait for branches to sprout? And how do you carry a whole tree to school?

Thankfully, his wise and loving grandmother, Paatti, is ready to help. With a box of cherished photographs and heartfelt stories, she takes Ayash on a journey through his roots, weaving together memories of the past with the joy of discovery.

A delightful and humorous tale about family, heritage, and the power of storytelling, this book is sure to become a treasured favorite for young readers and their loved ones. Includes a fun worksheet to help children explore their own family trees!
