The Little Ghaf tree

Award winning book, The Little Ghaf Tree brings to life the flora and fauna of the deserts of the UAE and follows the adventures of a little Ghaf tree as he regales desert tales of his family and friends and learns to adapt to life in the desert. The story is brought to life by the magnificent realistically drawn illustrations that transport you into the desert world. The beautiful illustrations portray the natural habitat of the UAE in stunning detail and vibrant colors.
