But when a young traveler decides to join them one day, a rich man on whose land the tree stands demands they leave because he owns the tree and therefore its shade. Thinking fast, the traveler strikes a deal: one that will enable him to outsmart the rich man--and ensure that the villagers will always have access to the shade tree's shade, wherever it may fall.With simple, elegant illustrations, The Shade Tree is a striking story about one person's quest to combat greed for the greater good.

From the author of New York Times Best Children's Book The Happiness of a Dog with a Ball in Its Mouth, a luminous picture book about the shadows, both literal and emotional, that accompany us throughout our day There was a shadow. It was a new shadow, but also the last hint of night. It was a morning shadow. As the sun makes its daily journey across the sky, light comes down to illuminate our world. Moving and dancing along with this light come a variety of shadows--those cast by the sun and those cast by our feelings, minds, and memories. Here we follow a girl from dawn through dusk into night as she and her friends play with their shadows, take refuge in the shade of a large tree, and set out again for home in the violet glow of twilight. With a lyrical text from Bruce Handy and dramatic, sensitive art from Lisk Feng, this book invites readers to look up and down, in and out--to notice the position of the sun and the corresponding length or shortness of shadows, as well as the subtl
