Stop and Breathe… Be a Child for a Moment…

The Trees Have Hearts – Mom’s Choice Award Winner!

This enchanting story of a young girl in a strange place and lost in a strange language, was written by a woman who lived it, and made of that experience a wonderful tale of beauty, peace and friendship.

After
you finish reading this book to your child, stop your busy life for a moment
and take time for you and your child. Close your eyes and go to a special
place, where everything is simple and pure. Cuddle with your child on the green
grass or golden sand… stare at the beautiful blue sky… listen to the splashing
waves… spin around in a blooming garden or talk to the whispering wind. Look
around you and see what is important in life and to your child.

Stop
and breathe… Be a child for a moment… Dive into their imaginary world where you
can hide in the shadows of blossoming trees. There was a time when my
curly-haired girl taught me how to see her world through her innocent green
eyes.

Do
not lose this precious time together; our children grow so fast and I believe
that these special moments are given to us for a reason. Hug your children
every chance you get; reassure them that they are loved. They have their
worries and fears, ideas and solutions as we do. Right or wrong, our children
need us to understand their imaginary world and to be present in their dreams.
Try to listen and hear what they are hearing and see what they are seeing. Love
simple things with an open heart and you will receive unconditional love. Teach
your children, lead them through their life, but let them run free in their
imaginary kingdom.

I
had the privilege to see this imaginary world through the eyes of my little
daughter and saved those moments in my memories forever. The curly-haired girl
is running free in the blooming garden. Now, it is your time, and I will share
my story you…

The Trees Have Hearts was based on the story of this little girl.
