From the publisher
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.

Simply told and beautifully illustrated, The Shady Tree is sure to become a classic.
