 A captivating paper chase, and an unforgettable adventure . .

Two children meet under a tall tree. James has a book. Ginger has a paper plane. They become friends . . .but then they're parted. Will they ever meet again? .

But this isn't just James and Ginger's story: it's a paper chase, in which Julia Donaldson cleverly weaves the children's tale of friendship into the amazing story of how paper is made. Children will be fascinated to see the remarkable journey of one tall tree, as it's turned into paper, and becomes all sorts of things that we use, from bags and boxes to letters, cards and books. 

Julia Donaldson's perfect, read-aloud rhymes are brought gorgeously to life with warm, richly atmospheric illustrations by acclaimed illustrator, Victoria Sandøy. Julia & Victoria's previous books together were The Christmas Pine & The Oak Tree.
