Under the Jackfruit Tree is a beautifully illustrated children's book inspired by the true childhood story of Kurusumu, whose journey of learning began not in a classroom, but beneath the shade of a jackfruit tree in Uganda.With no school building, no desks, and very few supplies, Kurusumu and her classmates learned to read, count, sing, and pray together. Guided by a caring teacher, encouraged by her mother Mama Prossy, and supported by her grandmother Jaja Gladys, Kurusumu discovered that education is a gift - and faith makes the way possible.Through gentle storytelling and rich illustrations, this book celebrates: The power of education, even when resources are fewThe strength of family sacrifice and loveA child's growing faith in JesusThe beauty of learning through everyday momentsPerfect for families, classrooms, churches, and faith-based schools, Under the Jackfruit Tree reminds readers young and old that learning grows wherever hope is planted - and that God provides every step of the way.
