«A árvore» is a children's book of two stories by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, published by Figueirinhas in paperback (31 pages, in Portuguese).
The book brings together two short tales inspired by Japanese tradition: «A árvore», about a leafy tree that ends up turned into a boat and gives way to a cherry blossom festival; and «O espelho ou o retrato vivo», about a mirror brought from a journey that passes from mother to daughter. Nature and family bonds are the core of both stories.
This edition was published in 2004 and the book is recommended by Portugal's Plano Nacional de Leitura for the 6th year of schooling.
For children and young readers interested in classic tales and Japanese tradition.
