"There was a tree in the school yard. Just one. Pedro liked to run near that tree during recess. When he passed by it, he would glance at it so as not to run into it. One day, he stopped and noticed its appearance. It was thin, with thin, wire-like branches, and it had a few dry leaves.
Pedro approached and caressed its trunk" The importance of environmental education, direct contact between students and nature for their comprehensive education and the collaborative spirit in the educational community are all present in The School Tree. This story with a circular structure tells - in simple language - the relationship between a child and a small tree that grows thanks to the love he receives from it, and the affection of other classmates who follow his example. Despite the schoolchildren's initial reluctance to have them interact with the tree, the teacher herself ends up joining the students' initiative, who manage to attract the attention of the botanists.
