The Littlest Tree By: Saundra Howell-Grant The Littlest Tree is the story of a very young forest tree finding his way in a busy and gigantic environment. It is a coming-of-age tale of him finding a special friend with whom to share his feelings, and then receiving helpful advice from this friend. He puts his friend's advice to action in his life, and he slowly and steadily learns heartfelt lessons lasting for a lifetime. The Littlest Tree finds that sharing one's time and energy can go a long way in helping others; these actions can lead to a sense of deep fulfillment. Also, they can lead to personal and inner happiness.
