Bedtime-storytime- anytime books published by Conscious Stories. Can be read solo, pairs, groups of any age. Each storybook starts with a brief breathing reminder and ends with a connective meditative exercise incorporating that story’s topic. This one is about one tree’s affect upon its community - more hopeful that the famous book, The Giving Tree and more tied to nature’s cycles. *the cover illustration is adorable tho missing here in book’s entry info.*
