My lifelong passion for horticulture and art inspired “The Little Gardeners” series for children. Each book delivers a lesson or message, and a journey that children can learn from. In this series, I have endeavored to captivate and entertain the reader, as well as the listener. The characters are among those I have encountered in my gardens, those I have had as pets over many years, and some are merely imaginary. “O Christmas Tree” is a story about the little gardeners and their journey to find a magical tree. On their journey, they learn to appreciate the blessings of friendship, and the spirit of Christmas.
