As a lifetime educator she wants to accomplish two things with The History Tree Series books. Teaching little people about their heritage, while offering adult readers the opportunity to guide and explain the tough parts of history. The other goal is to encourage children to love old trees and preserve them as living ambassadors of the past, present, and future. Who better to teach about times gone by than a talking eyewitness tree?

Review 5.0 out of 5 stars A fun way to learn history - for both parents and kids!Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020The History Tree books work on several levels. They are fun and engaging for littles, with engrossing pictures and a light verse. For older kids and parents, the explanations at the bottom of each page give a deeper insight into the historical fact. One can explain questions, learn more about the event, or just give insight to the pictures. The Dueling Oak covers NOLAs history all the way to present times, and is easily relatable in telling stories about one of Americas most beloved cities.5.0 out of 5 stars Cute and full of history.Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020This is a fun story about New Orleans. It makes me want to go back for a visit. The book shares a lot of great history through the stories of an old tree. It is easy for kids to read, but has some extra facts that older readers can add to make it even more fun. I definitely recommend this book!
