I have raised two children and am enjoying my five grandchildren. It is for them I began this book series. They have always loved to hear stories and being an avid reader all my life, I always obliged them. Why trees? As a child growing up, they were my shade from the heat, they held that awesome swing, their limbs were a safe hideaway from siblings and cousins as I read books that took me far, far away into other worlds. I still enjoy being outside any day over indoors. I watch the trees as they blow in the wind, hold the birds and watch the squirrels run up and down. My morning coffee is spent imagining that they are watching me too.view less
