The John Tree
()
About this ebook
The big old tree was ugly and gnarled, yet it offered shade and comfort to all who sat beneath it. Lucy passed this tree daily on her way to school, and soon it became a very big part of her life just like her friend John.
Carole Moeller
Carole Lathrop Moeller was an educator for 60 years and is now retired. When she is not spending time with her cats and dogs, she is playing in the dirt. Some call this gardening.When not doing volunteer work, she reads and paints watercolor scenes of animals, landscapes, and old barns. Carole loves the outdoors and the change of seasons, especially Fall. Halloween is her favorite holiday because she says, "you can make mischief and not get into trouble!"
