The Boab Tree

Little Boab is lost and far, far from home. Surrounded by tall, unfriendly trees, he feels all alone. But the friendship of some of the small forest dwellers gives him hope. With a little luck, some clever planning and the help of his new friends, Boab might just find his way back to Country.
