The Sonshine Tree

The Sonshine Tree

Three tree seeds, Sonshine, Fearful and Prideful, sprout and grow in a happy forest where animals and birds romp and play.

There is something wrong with Fearful and Prideful. They don't grow as Sonshine grows. When the terrible storm comes, they have no roots to hold them securely. Prideful is lost, but Sonshine's efforts result in a new birth for Fearful, and he gets a new name. Here's a story with the drama of disaster and hope, of sadness and joy, with an inspiring message for children.
