«Der Buchstabenbaum» is the children's picture book by Leo Lionni, published by Julius Beltz in hardcover (32 pages, in German).
In the alphabet tree live some small letters that are threatened by a strong wind. Guided by an insect and a caterpillar, they discover that together they form words and that these can become a sentence capable of overcoming the wind: «peace on earth». A fable about the power of written language and the value of collaboration.
The work was originally published in 1968 as «The Alphabet Tree»; the German translation is by Fredrik Vahle.
For children aged 5 and up: helps them become familiar with letters and form words, and is suitable for reading aloud at home or at school.
