A beautiful companion to Demi's classic The Empty Pot.In this new Chinese fable, Ping returns and deals with the selfish and greedy Tan Tan, who owns a beautiful house and a beautiful shady tree, but who does not share. Ping turns Tan Tan's greed into his own gain, but even with his new-found wealth, Ping is true to his generous nature -- there is room for everyone. Simply told and beautifully illustrated, The Shady Tree is sure to become a classic.
