In this magical tale, a beautiful specimen tree has been
planted in a special garden, fulfilling her life-long wish to
leave behind her small island and move to the mainland.
While pondering the circumstances which brought her
to that point, the silvery Royal Palm reflects upon the
true friends she left behind, who accepted her just as she
was in spite of her assumed arrogance toward them. She
recalls the hurricane she thought would destroy her, and
planted in a special garden, fulfilling her life-long wish to
leave behind her small island and move to the mainland.

true friends she left behind, who accepted her just as she
was in spite of her assumed arrogance toward them. She
recalls the hurricane she thought would destroy her, and
remembers how the smaller, more common palm trees
rallied round her to protect her from the blowing sand,
waves and wind. While she expects to be happy in her
new life, she comes to the realization that she will always
miss her old friends, regardless of how many new friends
she may one day have.

The Royal Palm is a wonderful fantasy, told in the flowery
language one might expect from an anthropomorphized
tree, the wind, and other elements of a tropical paradise.
Intended to facilitate the growth of a child’s imagination,
this story also comes complete with a valuable life lesson.
As they become a part of the story, young readers will learn
to appreciate the other people in their lives. They will learn
that it is not always wise to prejudge those around them
because a day of reckoning may come when those whom
they might think poorly of will become the ones on whom
the child must depend for help. Although understated, The
Royal Palm shouts loud and clear to young readers: “Don’t
judge by appearances. It’s what’s inside that counts.”

Beautifully created in full color, “The Royal Palm” is
an extremely smart, entertaining, and fascinating guide
without being too preachy on this touching topic. If
possible, please read this multi-award-winning story first.
It is targeted for ages six through ten. Younger readers
are able to follow the story while it is read aloud through
the illustrations, while children aged eight and older will
be better suited to independent reading of the text. It
addresses many of the difficult issues children face in
dealing with their peers.

If you have not read any of my books yet, I recommend
you take a leisurely look through my enchanting collection
at www.mrsdbooks.net and see what other book will be
the next to read. All my books are lovely reads for families
together. They convey stories with good messages about
being kind to others. Life is fun, when you share it with
others. The amazing illustrations are vibrant and engaging
and readers will be drawn into the magical world that
comes alive on each page. I hope you had fun coloring
this book and enjoyed some activities as you set out on
dreamlike adventures. I would be delighted if (with their
parents’ permission) young artists and readers would send
me their coloring pages and stories so I could see their
vision too. You can scan the colored pages and then email
them to olga@mrsdbooks.com. I will gladly post them on
my blog at Mrs.D.Books. Have fun reading, coloring and
following Mrs. D’s Books!
