Under My Mulberry Tree

The mulberry tree is a common tree landscaping the urban streets of New York City. Its limbs, branches, and leaves are a source of refuge and food supply for insects, birds, and small animals. The mulberry fruit provides them with a tasty, sweet treat. Set in an urban backyard, Under My Mulberry Tree tells the story of three pre-school girls who learn about the different types of wildlife that inhabit the mulberry tree.
