When times are tough, courage can grow where you least expect it.
In The Golden Banyan Tree - A Tale from Bengal, young Aman lives with his mother, Maisha, in a small riverside village. When their last grain of rice is gone, Aman trades it for a handful of golden banyan seeds. Overnight, a magnificent tree grows into the clouds!
At the top, Aman discovers a dazzling palace ruled by Bhairav, a lonely rakshasa (giant ogre) who hoards treasures. What begins as a daring escape turns into a touching friendship that changes their world forever.
This enchanting retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk weaves Bengali landscapes, folklore, and music into a tale of bravery, kindness, and peace.
