Tales Of An Oak Tree

An oak tree is born, or shall we say an acorn sprouts. A master observer, the tree passes on many adventures about the children it comes to love. Through its telling, a community of forest creatures unfolds-other trees, shrubs, mushrooms, flowers, birds, squirrels, deer, frogs, and mosquitoes. One day a young girl, Nona, discovers a baby crow that has fallen from its nest. When the oak grows taller and stronger, it encounters two hunters who build a deer stand in its limbs. During a walk into the woods, Nona and her cousin discover the stand, transforming it into their tree house. Recruiting two children, they establish the Oak Tree Club. Many adventures follow-treasures are discovered and kept in a repurposed toolbox (the treasure chest); lightning strikes a cedar and burns some of the forest; a boy from the club falls from the tree and breaks his arm; the children rescue frogs that become sick from a fouled marsh. The oak comes to love the girls and boys, especially Nona, whom the tree watches grow from a young girl to the mother of her own children. The next generation joins the Club.In time, the oak tree finds itself surrounded by new families who come to honor The Legend of the Forest. Tales tells a deeply personal story about life, love, wisdom, and joy.
