by Luisa Mattia. Illustrated by Barbara Nascimbeni.
At the outskirt of a big city there’s a small multicultural district called Case Basse. Four lively and resourceful children live there with their families: an Italian girl named Sofia, her best friend Suleiman, from Africa, Wilson from the Philippines and Gioconda, whose parents are from Romania and Brasil. A Big Tree grows nearby, and the children see it as a beloved playmate. Their life is joyful and carefree, until one day some nasty fellows appear, determined to cut down the tree and replace it with a huge parking lot. Is the Big Tree doomed? No way!When the grown-ups surrender to the harsh logic of facts, Sofia and the kids come up with the best plan ever to save their green friend – and the whole district with it.
