A simple and beautiful picture book. Not only will children enjoy the illustrations and poetic writing, but they will imagine how church may look different and yet be similar in an unfamiliar ethnic context. The front page also contains additional information about the baobab tree for curious parents and children.

Moyo and Japera travel down the red dusty road to the next village. There, they will gather under the baobab tree, the Tree of Life. Moyo knows that some days the market wagon stops under the baobab tree. Villagers buy brightly colored cloth and heavy pots and pans. But who will gather today under the baobab tree? Come to a special place---a wondrous gathering place known as the baobab tree, the Tree of Life. Moyo and Japera know that almost anything can happen here. But today? Today the most important and truest stories of all will be told. People will come to hear, to pray, and to sing. And as the children journey to the tree they have only one question: Who will gather under the boabab tree? ...Will you?
