Book Review – The Cheery Tree
The book cherry tree is a short story written by Ruskin Bond, I am a voracious reader but many times I just like to read short write ups to cheer up myself and this is why I picked up the cheery tree by Ruskin Bond.
About Ruskin Bond –
Ruskin Bond is an Indian author born in Himachal Pradesh and brought up at Jamnagar Gujarart, who write children stories. He is my favorite author since childhood, he writes poetry, fiction and non fiction stories based on the experiences of his own life. Many times I feel his story attaching to my heartstrings so I love reading him. I have grown up but he will still be my favorite author. He wrote his first book The Room on the Roof when he was 17. And he leaves in Landour mussorie with his extend family.
About the book, The Cherry Tree –
It is a short story revolving around three person Rakesh, his grandpa and a cherry tree. It contains beautiful illustrations with eye captivatunf pictures describing the bond of a Grandfather and his grandson.
I am really touched by the simplicity of the characters yet giving the greatest lesson of life.
In the story Rakesh’s Grandfather teaches him to sow seeds to get the fruits in life that is work hard for success.
Rakesh than plants cherry tree and the story shows all about the difficulties Rakesh faces in bringing up a tree, same is with life.
our parents brings us to this world and then shape us to be great human beings, they face many difficulties in it, and along with growing up we become favorite of our parents.
So it gives a message to bring up things in a good manner so that when they become big they are of some use to us back.
Rakesh the guy who stays in mountains have many treed around him but still his affection for the cherry tree was unconditional, it was his favorite tree because he planted it from his hands.
I loved reading the short story with so many big messages in it.

Hey Dixita, Ruskin Bond has been my favourite too since childhood. I remember reading his unseen passages in my English guide book that were all short detective or horror ones. Your review is forcing me to buy a copy soon.
Truly Ruskin band is a brillaint author. How words speak volumes with a certain element of calmness to it. Lovely to read his words here.
Such a beautiful book.
I love Ruskin Bond stories too.Simple and beautiful.Glad you are sharing
I was just lost in the book while imagining myself as the young boy who always have ideas to implement and can predict the future of idea. The story of growing to see into the tree was heart-touching and the amount of pleasure he used to have every day he looked at the tree growing until finally, a bird eats the first fruit.
This book is enough to teach patience for any idea to get rewarded with consistent dedication and finally the empathy concept. The child’s mindset is the perfect example how he kept a close eye on his determination and belief.
My childhood best author is Ruskin Bond and his great book The Blue umbrella was so close to my heart as it always gives me goosebumps of Lucy’s character who lived far away from human reach. The character of showcasing the talent of little girl by Ruskin bond was amazing.
