This Big Book is the eleventh in the series of 16 Big Books for Grade 1 First Additional Language. The flowers, the grasses and the reeds are friends, but the tree feels lonely. He does not have any friends and he has nobody to wish a good morning or good evening . He is so sad, he is so lonely. How will he be happy again?

This Big Book suits the learner's stage of development, life experiences and field of interest. It also complements and enriches the prescribed topic “Plants around me” chosen for First Additional Language (CAPS), contains a wide variety of text types and is illustrated by the renowned illustrator, Chris Venter, so that visual literacy is promoted. This Big Book is used with the New All-In-One Grade 1 First Additional Language Learner's Book and Teacher's Guide and Phonics Book for Learners for optimal learning and teaching.
