The Lone Avocado Tree

Little is known about the incredible avocado tree, and how it survived for thousands of years despite dramatic changes in the environment. If inner-strength and tenacity were to be likened to a certain species of tree, it would surely have to be this one. With the disappearance of the mammoths and other large mammals so very long ago, it's a wonder that the avocado tree and its fruit managed to survive.For decades, avocado fruit has been enjoyed around the world. From sushi to burger sauce, guacamole to seafood, this delicious fruit is important to so many. This is the story of the last standing avocado tree and how she lived to see her species survive. She was courageous, determined, strong, tenacious, and unafraid to ask for help - a perfect recipe for success. With a strong moral message that urges young readers to never give up, this beautifully illustrated tale is the second in Rose Wadenya's nature-inspired collection for children.
