«Mi abuelo era un cerezo» is the children's novel by Angela Nanetti, published by Ediciones SM in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Toño recalls his childhood with his grandparents, especially Octavio, who devotes his care to a cherry tree planted when his daughter was born. The threat of expropriation and felling by the town council turns that tree into a symbol of family memory; the novel defends nature, communication between generations and collaboration.
Number 135 of the El Barco de Vapor Naranja collection. Originally published in Italian as 'Mio nonno era un ciliegio'; winner of the Cento Prize in 1998.
For readers aged 8 to 12, with sensitivity towards the environment and family relationships.
