The Olive Tree

On her 90th birthday, Big Yiayia unwraps a photo album that opens the door to a lifetime of memories...As Marie celebrates her beloved Big Yiayia's milestone birthday, she doesn't expect the most meaningful gift to be a book filled with photos and memories that vividly capture their family's experiences in Greece. Sitting side by side, the two explore tales of dancing under the stars in Santorini, planting an olive tree by their favorite taverna, and the origins of Erasmia's famous keftedes. Told through the warm bond between grandmother and great-granddaughter, The Olive Tree invites readers into a tapestry of family traditions, everyday joys, and cultural treasures passed lovingly from one generation to the next.
