Welcome to our Library!

The Tree That Had Wings

The Tree That Had Wings

There once was a plain which differed from all the rest…. precisely because in its midst was a large, beautiful, strong tree.  It was this tree that made that plain special.  And that which made that tree notable was its loneliness.

Author : Aggeliki Darlasi
Edition : Papadopoulos
Class name : 3rd - 6th grades

There once was a plain which differed from all the rest…. precisely because in its midst was a large, beautiful, strong tree.  It was this tree that made that plain special.  And that which made that tree notable was its loneliness.

There came a day when everything changed…On the branches of the tree sat a little bird that had justhatched from its egg and who was discovering the world.Could, perhaps, birds have roots and trees have wings?“Yes, they can!” children will sayand they will smile.  Happy.(And hereafter they will dream of trees that fly.)

This is a story about the power of love that can transform everyday life to appear like a miracle or a fairy tale.  This is a story for children and parents,so that they can pass their time… beautifully.
