A Beautiful
Collection of
 Stories for
Young Hearts

Ages One to
One Hundred
If a majestic old
   oak could talk,
 what would it tell
     us about our
history? What does
  it know, that we
  have forgotten?
A Call to Unite

It was long after the
crickets had stopped
chirping, yet long
before the birds had
begun to sing. A long
line of canoes sliced
their way through dark,
murky water, silently
heading toward the
shore of the lake.
A Call to One
Nation Under God
… a still, small voice
whispered softly to him.
“Listen to the One who
made this tree. He will win
this land.”
A Call to Freedom
Shouts were heard
throughout the surrounding
fields and all through the
trees along the water’s
edge. All night long, a
runaway slave had raced
through the forest. He was
racing for his freedom.
The Call
Occasionally they
remember the sacrifices
and the still, small voice
that gave them the land.
They take pictures of the
tree, saying “What a
beautiful tree God made,”
and then go on about their
business.
Once a year, they
give thanks.
The tree still
gives them
shelter and the
still, small voice
calls out.
Who will win the
land, if no one
stops to listen?
Children in the 2nd
and 3rd grade levels
listen from cover to
cover.

Adults love it also,
as they
remember…
