Born in the heart of the Congo, Rupat grew up in a large, loving family, surrounded by fertile fields and delicious, sticky mangoes. But when civil war ravaged his homeland, everything changed. Forced to flee as violence tore through his village, Rupat embarked on a perilous journey across the unforgiving terrain of Africa, separated from his family and unsure of what lay ahead.
With only his faith to guide him, Rupat travelled over two thousand kilometres, hungry, exhausted, fearing the constant threat of rebel soldiers. Alongside countless others displaced by the conflict, he endured unimaginable hardship. Yet, amidst the chaos, there were moments of sweetness-mangoes that nourished both his body and his spirit-until he found safety in a refugee camp, alongside new love and a dream of a brighter future.
Thoughtfully rendered and beautifully illustrated, Shake the Mango Tree tells an important, true story-a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the sweetness of hope-to be shared with readers young and old.

Né au coeur du Congo, Rupat a grandi dans une famille nombreuse et aimante, entourée de champs fertiles et de mangues délicieuses et collantes. Mais lorsque la guerre civile a ravagé son pays, tout a changé. Forcé de fuir alors que la violence ravageait son village, Rupat s'est embarqué dans un voyage périlleux à travers le terrain impitoyable de l'Afrique, séparé de sa famille et incertain de ce qui l'attendait.
Avec pour seul guide sa foi, Rupat a parcouru plus de deux mille kilomètres, affamé, épuisé, craignant la menace constante des soldats rebelles. Avec d'innombrables autres personnes déplacées par le conflit, il a enduré des épreuves inimaginables. Pourtant, au milieu du chaos, il y a eu des moments de douceur-des mangues qui ont nourri à la fois son corps et son esprit-jusqu'à ce qu'il trouve la sécurité dans un camp de réfugiés, avec un nouvel amour et le rêve d'un avenir plus radieux.
Rendu de manière réfléchie et magnifiquement illustré, Secouez le Manguier
raconte une histoire importante et vraie-un témoignage de la force de l'esprit humain et de la douceur de l'espoir-à partager avec les lecteurs jeunes et moins jeunes.
