Back matter includes facts about banyan trees. Canadian author.

In a village in India, there was a banyan tree, and she loved a little boy. He climbed her branches and swung from her roots and slept under her cool shade. When he grew to be a man, he never forgot the banyan tree and the wisdom she shared with him about hard work, perseverance, and kindness. Mahtab Narsimhan revisits the story of 'The Giving Tree', as a beautiful billlowing banyan tree teaches a young boy to be resourceful and kind, values that follow him for the rest of his life. This is also a love letter of parental gratitude, inspired by Mahtab's appreciation for her mother who prioritized giving her an education above all else when she was a child growing up in India.
