Short /annotation:
An uplifting story about a young girl who learns to love the unexpected and appreciate her favourite mango tree.
:
Farah loves mangos! She could eat them all day long and she wouldn’t mind living in one either. Every summer when she visits her Grandpa they always pick the ripe fruit from his mango tree. This year, however, the tree is empty! Farah puts her mind to it and decides she will make the tree grow fruit. But perhaps Farah will learn there is more to a mango tree than just the fruit it bears?

Sweet as a Fresh Mango! What lovely tale! With fabulous, vivid illustrations. I can”t even decide what melted my heart more: the story or the drawings.

Review quote:
Sarthak Sinha is fast becoming one of my favourite modern illustrators. The cartoony style is brilliant! Each page is a delight as Farah”s character just jumps off the page while the vibrant nature surrounds her. Now for the teacher bit. It is a great text to explore the concept that trees, and all plant life, isn”t just for human pleasure. Often we can focus on why natural resources benefit humans when teaching geography and can ignore the fact that they exist for all living things. Sharing this book would be a great way to open up that discussion.Farah loves Mangoes, I”m smitten about this book.
