A Tree's Wisdom

By Danny Ray Halladay

"A Tree's Wisdom" is a fictional children's story. Created to bring the attention to the need for tree's and plant's (as in climate change). Also, to help aid Parent's and Teacher's to address some issues on morals and, some of life's events. The mostly used moral is, "You made your bed; You lie in it". It's a fun story of a journey with 6 seedlings that lived deep in the forest. The Elder trees told stories of past events and, gave advice on how to grow. One of the stories that caught the attention of the 6 seedlings (whom became friends) was a story about how humans came to the clearing in the forest. They started a fire (that kept the trees warm for a moment during the winter), sang songs (that had good vibrations) and, had fun playing in the snow. It became the seedlings favorite story. As well as the reason why the seedlings decided to go on a journey from the forest to go live near or, around humans. But, they had to hold on to their parent tree all summer until the Great Autumn storms came. Because the storms during autumn have the best high winds for long distance travel. And that is where the journey begins.
I hope you enjoy my illustrations and a poem at the end of the story. Please respect, care for and, love the Earth. It is OUR home. Thank You!

I was born in Bellaire, Michigan. By the 9th grade I was placed in Special Education classes. Where a teacher told me to not worry about my disability too much it could be that I'm what psychologist call ," a late bloomer ". Became a high school dropout at the 10th grade. I've became a general laborer. Working in factories, gas station's, gift shop's, casino's, and many other job's. In 1988 I became HIV+ , moved back to Michigan. I decided to start to settle down. Four years later I find myself depending on SSI and DHHS. I remembered that I liked doing drawings. So, I started to draw many drawings. Later I decided to I liked writing as well. So, by 1999 I decided to put the 2 subjects together and create a children's book. I have 5 other books on the burner. But first, I'd like to see how this book does. I also do poetry. Which I'll be creating a book for later. By the way, I've found out that my Special Education teacher was right, I am a " Late Bloomer ". Also, I'm a " Natural Artist " and " Natural Writer ". I've had no lessons for either. I'm doing this all from my brain and will power. No classes or teacher's were used to create anything I do at this point in my life. It is all natural talent's. I hope you enjoy my work.
