Synopsis

NEW Artist Edition!  Fully reformatted hardcover edition of this two national gold award winning book. 

A little girl watches her Momma bend with the wind, breathe in the air, and embrace the seasons. In Momma Tree, a child and her mother journey through the warmth of spring through the stark beauty of winter beneath the comforting boughs of a special tree. Life affirming, spiritual, and beautifully written and illustrated, Momma Tree is an instant classic. Written by Charles Long, teacher, educator, and speaker, and illustrated by Christina Allen, a celebrated artist for almost 40 years, the book will bond families for generations to come.

About the Authors

Charles was born in Philadelphia, PA, but moved to NYC when he was very young. He studied monkeys in college, majoring in, among other things, anthropology at Brooklyn College and the University of Wisconsin. Eventually he went to seminary to become a pastor. Today Charles lives in southern Maryland. He loves music (especially Bruce Cockburn), Colorado, the Green Bay Packers, the New York Yankees, and rescued greyhounds. Monkeys don't make good pets.

Artist/Illustrator Christina Allen has been a professional artist for about 40 years. She lives on a Southern Maryland farm with her husband, cat, rare Jersey Buff turkeys, and heritage chickens. They raise much of their own food. The rural life and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay find their way into many of her paintings. Christina's original paintings and limited edition prints, including original art from the book, are for sale at Corn Crib Studio & Publishing, where you can usually find her working.
