Synopsis

A story to empower children who may live with someone other than their biological mother.

The Magic of Roots and Stars: a tale of strength and hope, is a beautifully illustrated story which follows the journey of Amber, the seed pod, as she faces her unique set of challenges to gain a well-earned measure of happiness in the simple place she calls home.

The Magic of Roots and Stars:

• Appeals to children and adults who learn to make peace with ‘what is’ so they can see the richness that they may already have in their lives.
• Helps children recognize the transformative power of love.
• Celebrates the rare combination of resilience and fortitude in the face of an unexpected life.
• Brings home the message that adverse circumstances are not a reflection of their beauty and worth.

Under the canopy of stars, Amber learns important lessons of peace and belonging, while living the extraordinary life of an ordinary beech tree. She inhales the profound knowledge of not only who matters, but what matters in the life she is destined to live.
