The Magic Bean Tree: A Legend from Argentina
Nancy Van Laan, Beatriz Vidal
eBook (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, March 30, 1998)In the middle of the wide Argentine pampas there once grew a magic tree. Above this tree slept a bird so evil it could stop the rain from falling. And not far from this tree lived a brave boy who one day set out to save his village and all the creatures from dying of thirst. Illustrated with charming folk-art-like paintings and retold with simplicity and drama, this legend of a child's courage and faith explains why Argentineans believe that good luck can be found in the shade of a carob tree.
