A heartwarming picture book about a boy and his grandmother
School projects have never been so much fun!
Five-year-old Ayash has a problem: how do you grow a family tree?
Help arrives in the form of his grandmother, Paatti, who, armed with a box of old photographs, gently guides the eager little boy while teaching him about his roots.
A humorous and endearing tale that will become a firm family favourite!
Also includes a worksheet and website to figure out your own family tree. Although this is a picture book the story can be used to introduce the Sri Lankan civil war, multigenerational family, and Sri Lankan identity as well, to older children.
Customer Reviews
'Young children can learn so much from asking their grandparents questions about what it was like when they were growing up. Excellent resource for parents and teachers to use as a project idea.'

'What is a family tree? Can we plant one? These are questions that will be answered in this book Ayash Grows a Family Tree. I love how Ayash reaches out to his grandma for help on his school project. Along the way he learns more about his family's history. A misunderstanding in the assignment creates a "situation" which is funny. A great story for the classroom before working on a family tree'
