by Gokce Ates Aytug
Description
In this heartwarming neighborhood story, the author Aytuğ is defending life in every aspect,
standing by the children, trees, cats and crows. The book whispers to the child readers that they can overcome all difficulties with solidarity and affection, and coexistence is possible only with love and respect. Maya was thinking about buying wheat grains to feed the birds living on the branches of a centenary tree in their neighborhood. One day she sees that the municipality workers are getting ready to cut down this beautiful stone pine tree. She learns that some people living in the neighborhood made a complaint saying that the tree is messing up the place. Maya was very upset. Her grandfather and tailor Arman sit on
the pavement trying to protect the tree. Seeing that she’s not alone, Maya makes a perfect plan. However the municipality workers seem to be very determined! Would the crows, Muhtar the cat, and all other supporters of Maya be able to save the pine tree?
