About

A beautiful companion to Demi's classic “The Empty Pot”.

In this new Chinese fable, Ping returns and deals with the selfish and greedy Tan Tan, who owns a beautiful house and a beautiful shady tree, but who does not share. Ping turns Tan Tan's greed into his own gain, but even with his new-found wealth, Ping is true to his generous nature, there is room for everyone. Simply told and beautifully illustrated, “The Shady Tree” is sure to become a classic.

Reviews

"Demi retells a Chinese folktale using artistic elements that reflect the story's culture. . . . Pair with The Little Tree That Would Not Share (2016), by Nicoletta Costa, for another way to be reminded of the virtues and joy of sharing."
