Paperback. Condition: Good. 2016 Purple Dragonfly Book Awards: 2nd Place for Children's Nonfiction. The Old Man and The Tree is the tale of two unlikely friends: a young man named Fred and a growing maple tree. When Fred purchases a home with a fledgling tree in his backyard, all he wants is some shade, but what develops is a bond between man and nature and true friendship. As the pair ages together, like the seasons, their relationship goes through changes as well. Based on author Richard Schlatter's own experience, The Old Man and The Tree teaches the important lessons of loyalty and respect as they apply to friends, nature, and oneself. The Old Man and the Tree is an inspirational story, based on the author's real life experiences, which appeals to all ages. A quotation by Nelson Henderson underlies the message of The Old Man and the Tree: The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. Fred began his lifelong friendship with a young maple tree on Applewood Lane when he was a young man. He liked the tree growing in his back yard, but wished it would grow bigger so it could provide more shade. Gradually the years went by, the tree grew, and Fred's appreciation of his friendship with the tree grew also. The two friends grew old together. As Fred aged, he noticed that the aging maple tree had some bad habits, such as shedding helicopter seeds and leaves that he had to clean up. This work grew harder for Fred as he grew older, and finally he told the tree he would have to hire a man to cut the tree down, painful though this was to him. In the end there was only the stump, and Fred was ill with missing his friend, the old maple tree, wishing it could come back. Finally Fred found a helicopter seed from the old tree, planted it in a pot, and transplanted it in the back yard near where the old maple tree had stood. He hoped someday others would enjoy the growing tree's shade, colorful leaves, and sweet songs of birds in its branches. Fred's message to all readers is to make a promise: I promise to never cut down my friends, because saying or doing the wrong thing can end a friendship forever. The Old Man and the Tree has generation-spanning appeal, with its delicate realistic illustrations and heartfelt wisdom. --Children's Bookwatch: September 2015.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A collection of 101 short essays and tributes to unsung heroes, recognizing and expressing appreciation for the hidden gifts that life's journey brings. Excellent for use as gifts and premiums, as well as for personal enrichment and enjoyment. John Wayne Jack Schlatter, author of some of the most beloved stories in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, now comes forth with his own collection of inspirational writings. Sharing lessons, insights, and humor gathered over 35 years in the classroom and as a member of one of the most amazing families in America, he will touch your heart, tickle your funny bone, and enrich your wisdom. Three of his stories in particular have had a tremendous impact on the American culture. I Am a Teacher is one of the most widely read and reprinted tributes of the last ten years. The Simple Gesture has been known to save lives and form new friendships and has been rewritten and retold throughout the nation. The Magic Pebbles received a great compliment from Jack Canfield, coauthor of the Chicken Soup series. Asked by Modern Woodman magazine to choose the single story which meant the most to him, he named The Magic Pebbles. Inspired by Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, whose dreams woke him up, Mr. Schlatter has become aware of the countless gifts left by the side of the road of life. In this book he shares his discoveries. Jack Schlatter is a charismatic, consummate communicator who will have you laughing through your tears as he squeezes your heart with timeless truths. - MARK VICTOR HANSEN, Co-Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Do not pass up the opportunity to be entertained and inspired by this amazing human being. - JACK CANFIELD, Co-Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Every person should have a copy of this book on their bedside table for a last thought at night or a first thought in the morning. I would have loved this book if I had never met the author, but I have had the immense pleasure of watching Jack give a gift to every person he comes in contact with. He has the sensitivity to help each person he meets to get in touch with their Real Self the true person inside, even if it is just for a moment. It is his unconditional love for each and every person he has the blessing to come into contact with that allows those people to also see and feel themselves as Jack sees them, as a beautiful creation, worthy of the best that this world has to offer, to be acknowledged for who they really are. I have seen the light come to their eyes. Jack is at his best with young people; just a touch of Jack goes a long way in helping them know their real value. I think Jack's greatest gift is his ability to see beyond exterior behavior to the pure essence of everyone he comes in contact with, and more so helps them to see it also. His gift for putting in words what most of us only feel when we are in our deepest self is one of the most amazing talents I have witnessed. It has been one of the great pleasures in my life to have known him personally and through his works, and I would want to share that experience with as many people as possible. - Ann Friedly.…
