A Tree to Call Home

Amisha lived with her Mum, in a tree. 
They swung on branches, wild and free. 
And all was good - until, one day . . . 
Amisha was taken, far away. 
 
When orangutan Amisha arrives in the city, she quickly finds a new routine climbing and swinging on ropes and wires. But when she meets a new friend - a bird, called Blue - he helps her to remember her rainforest home and her love for trees. Surely one little orangutan can't change the world - can they? 
 
A beautiful and poignant story which explores the meaning of home with a powerful message around activism and caring for our world. From Helen Docherty and Erica Salcedo, the creative partnership behind The Bee Who Loved Words.

A read-aloud, read-again rhyming story about the power of words to make a difference, with an important message about saving the bees.
