They connect everyone–from the farmer who presses the olives into oil to the baker who uses the oil in his taboon. Salam plants her own seed and is eager to see it grow. She waits… she waters… she asks the seed to hurry… until finally…a sprout! But one day soldiers come and destroy everything in their path…including Salam’s new olive tree. Salam is crushed–though she doesn’t have to worry. Her grandpa gathers their neighbors and, together, they plant olive trees as far as the eye can see. With spare, sensitive prose and gentle illustrations, debut author-illustrator Hazar Elbayya delivers a powerful story about the beauty of the olive tree and the importance of community in the face of hardship. 🕊️🕊️🕊️ For more children's book recommendations and tips for raising kids who love to read, visit Brightly: http://bit.ly/299HQX0 Follow Brightly: Facebook:   / readbrightly   Instagram:   / readbrightly   Twitter:   / readbrightly   Pinterest:   / readbrightly   Music used with permission from DeWolfe Music Library.
