Sammy: Leaves His Mark
Paperback
(Diggle de Doo Productions Pty, Limited Dec. 1, 2011)
On the outskirts of town is a lush, green forest stretching as far as the eye can see - it is a magnificent sight. In a clearing where the sun shines through is a big oak tree. No one knows just how old the great oak is but everyone agrees he is the wisest of all the trees in the forest.
And next to the great oak is a beautiful willow. She dangles her long branches down and swishes the ground.
Sammy Sunflower chooses this as the perfect place to plant himself and grow up.
Although Sammy has much to learn from these resident elders, he soon becomes the teacher, and shows them all living things come to fulfill their purpose and move on.
This book will help children understand grief and the positive impact a legacy leaves. This story is told as a metaphor to read aloud to children and enjoy together. The vibrant illustrations and use of language draws children in to be part of the adventure, gently guiding them alongside the characters to get the message on a more personal level for them, to make their own meanings and take control of their own life situation - in their own way.
