B

  While e-books are on the rise, most people, especially young kids still prefer printed versions that they can think over for hours on end. Though that is an excellent habit, it also means cutting down precious trees. But what if the book could transform back into a tree? Now thanks to a Brazilian children’s book publisher, that is possible!

  The “Tree Book Tree” program is the brainchild of Argentina’s Pequeno Editor and FCB Buenos Aires. Their first creation Mi Papá Estuvo en la Selva, has been around in regular format for many years. In the book, a young boy takes the readers on an exciting journey of his father’s adventures inside an Ecuadorian jungle.

  The book that is made from acid-free paper, printed with natural ink and hand-stitched(手工缝合), is completely recyclable. Jacaranda(蓝花楹) seeds are carefully sewn into the pages to help it transform into a tree.

  After a kid has finished reading the book, he/she waters the cover and places it in a sunny area inside the house. Once the seeds come out, the book can be planted in the dirt in any location the owner decides. From then on, the book just has to be nurtured(培育) like any other plant. Franco says they picked the Jacaranda, because “It’s a tree that provides excellent shade and offers a tot of oxygen to the environment.”

  The only unfortunate part is that the publishers are not planning to transform their other titles or even make more copies of this “tree book” anytime soon. This non-commercial project was just a one-time project to make everyone aware of the resources used when producing something even as common as a book.
