One, Two, Tree! modelled around a nursery rhyme, introduces children to the brilliant original art by Durga Bai, a Gond tribal woman artist from central India most well-known for her work in the handmade book, The Night Life of Trees. Together the playful images and verse bring to life this vivacious and colorful tree of animals. From the state of Madhya Pradesh in central India, the Gonds are a community of highly visual people. They surround themselves with their stunning art, which is traditionally painted on the mud floors and walls of their homes. Hailing from a densely forested region, the tree is at the heart of their art, providing a rich source of inspiration.
