Jaca, a lonely Jacaranda tree, lives far from home, dropping her flowers and leaves like teardrops. Some of the birds and trees ignore or laugh at her, others come together to help. This touching fable explores themes of loneliness bullying, and alienation, and the simple acts of friendship that can help. The colour illustrations bring to life the wonder of the spectacular Jacaranda blossom and the birds and trees of the sub-tropical coastal region of Australia. Suitable for ages 5+
