Rakesh plants a cherry seedling in his garden and watches it grow.

As seasons go by, the small tree survives heavy monsoon showers, a hungry goat that eats most of the leaves and a grass cutter who splits it into two with one sweep.

At last, on his ninth birthday, Rakesh is rewarded with a miraculous sight-the first pink blossoms of his precious cherry tree!

This beautifully illustrated edition brings alive the magical charm of one of Ruskin Bond’s most unforgettable tales.
