Told entirely through images, Will There Be an Apple Tree? weaves together three interconnected stories: the story of a place, the story of a family across generations, and the story of a seed. Over the course of fourteen carefully crafted scenes, readers witness the transformation of a natural landscape, the passage of time, and the enduring cycle of growth and renewal.

Created by Alê Abreu and Priscilla Kellen, the book showcases the expressive power of visual storytelling. Without a single word, the narrative invites readers to construct meaning, follow subtle emotional developments, and discover new details with each reading.

The mixed-media artwork combines painting and collage to create richly textured scenes that balance intimacy and scope. As urban development gradually reshapes the environment, the apple tree remains at the heart of the story, connecting generations and serving as a quiet symbol of continuity, resilience, and humanity’s relationship with nature.
