Deep in the heartland of Africa, on the Congo River, twin brothers are born. One is handsome and loved- the other ugly and neglected. One night, the unloved twin leaves home. While traveling he comes to a great tree with magical leaves. Suddenly, everything he has wished for is his – beauty, wealth, strength and love – but only if he can keep the secret of the Magic Tree.

Powerfully told and boldly illustrated this morality tale has much to say about what is most important in life.
