Above branch and leaf

An old-fashioned tale that continues to captivate children today.

Night has fallen on the muleteer, but three charitable sisters welcome him into their home. As he was sleeping soundly, at the stroke of midnight, he wakes up hearing noises approaching. The sisters stoke the fire and bring a cauldron. Will they be preparing more food for him?

Over branch and leaf is a story from the oral tradition of the Aragonese Pyrenees full of surprises, provocation, and laughter. A long story, with unexpected twists that lead to laughter, and that captivates children who already consider themselves grown up.

The illustrations are by Antonio Santos, who powerfully and characterfully accompanies the adventures of this unique muleteer.

For reading aloud. For telling with suspense. For laughing together.
