One of my favorite books to read to my kids. Beautiful pictures and a great moral.
My mother met the author of this story and purchased a signed copy for me. This is an adorable moral story about a "tree maker" and why some trees loose their leaves in the winter-time while others stay "evergreen".
This is a really cute kids book. It explains why some trees lose their leaves in winter and why some don't. It just a cute story.
Beautiful legend for children...
