Tales from Beneath the Banyan Leaves

This book is a compilation of tales about an old, huge banyan tree in which animals and other little creatures have built their nests and dens in. They work together and depend on each other and consider themselves to be one big family. The banyan tree sits on the outskirts of a farm, so the members of the tree family are friends with all of the farm animals too. Each tale introduces a new character or situation in which the tree family and farm animals need to help each other. They know that unity within their community is key to their survival. Each tale has a positive moral at the end that corresponds with that particular story teaching our children manners and respect towards others.
