Two friends, a special tree ... and the extraordinary story of how paper is made. A boy and a girl meet under a beautiful, tall tree. James has a book. Ginger has a paper plane. Together they play for one long, wonderful day—but then they’re parted. Will they ever meet again?
Meanwhile, their beautiful tree goes on a remarkable journey of its own. It’s turned into paper, and becomes all sorts of things that we use: bags and boxes, letters and cards ... and a paper plane for James. Can this new paper plane lead him back to his long-lost friend?
Paper Chase by Julia Donaldson is a captivating tale about friendship, the life of a tree, and the journey of paper, highlighting the connection between nature and everyday objects.
