Books with title Little Tree

Today, children can face difficult situations during childhood years: separation, bullying, or life threatening events, but God has a plan for each of us. Jeremiah 29:11 states; "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Children and adults rejoice in this hope as Little Tree did. It is a new day when we trust God's providential hand guiding us to reach our potential. The storms do pass.

How scary it is to feel so alone, so out of place in a new unfamiliar environment? What does a tiny tree need to know to grow up tall and strong?

The Little Tree is a heartwarming story that will touch children and their parents alike.

The Little Tree presents the story of a tiny seed that struggles to survive in an unfamiliar and lonely place.

As she grows taller, she learns that other trees are growing not far from her; they had been there all the time, but in order for her to discover them she first had to rely on her own strength and determination.
