When a mango tree in a Malaysian neighbourhood bears fruit, neighbours of different backgrounds come together to share the harvest — a gentle story about community, generosity, and belonging. ## About this book Pokok Manggis / The Mango Tree is set in a quiet Malaysian neighbourhood where a magnificent mango tree grows in Encik Ali's garden. When the tree bears more fruit than one family could ever eat, Encik Ali opens his gate and invites his neighbours to share the harvest. What follows is a gentle, joyful story of neighbours who barely know each other — Puan Lim from next door, Muthu and his grandmother across the lane, the new family recently arrived from Sabah — discovering that generosity is the fastest way to build a community. The story is told in parallel Bahasa Malaysia and English text, with both languages appearing on every spread so families can move naturally between them during read-aloud. The illustrations are rich with Malaysian visual detail: the architecture of the terrace houses, the clothes worn by characters from different backgrounds, the specific varieties of fruit and plants in the gardens. The artist documented real Malaysian neighbourhoods to ensure the book reflects the world Malaysian children actually live in. Pokok Manggis / The Mango Tree has been used in Malaysian preschools and Year 1 classrooms as a read-aloud text for introducing bilingual reading and multicultural appreciation. ## Book Details Age Ages 3–5 Language Bilingual (BM/English) Format Hardcover ISBN 9789838062107 Page count 40 pages Binding hardback Publication date 12 Jul 2021 ## You might also like A few calm next steps if this title feels like the right direction.
