The Family Tree by Mal Peet
4.0
I came across this book when I attended a tree illustration workshop put on by Emma Shoard, The Family Tree`s illustrator. I found this to be a nice easy read with a total read time of 20 mins max.
Despite being a very short book, the breakdown of a parent's marriage seen from the eyes of a child is heartbreaking. It brings attention to how hard it may be for a child to predict the disintegration of the family unit despite seemingly obvious warning signs. This is a sad but sweet read and I would recommend this to anyone, especially as it is so quick to read.
A beautifully illustrated short story which is able to convey a magnitude of emotion in fewer words than your average newspaper article. Happy Reading!
