I started this project because I believe in the importance of learning and growth. This book was written to open doors to many different types of conversations with children, relevant to the challenges they are experiencing today.
Through themes such as:
Unity and working together
Awareness of ourselves and our environment
Acceptance of others and of ourselves
Dealing with negative influences
Resolving conflict
relevant messages are uncovered.
The lessons imbedded in this tale, you must look for to discover.
Compelling illustrations reinforce themes, while also revealing what the text does not.
“A GUMDROP TALE” holds many hidden lessons, as well as important messages for children and adults alike.
It is an excellent book for Grades 2 to 3 teachers and up; other educators; for parents and families; and particularly, for libraries and schools.

Who is this unusual stranger?
What do his mysterious seeds grow?
What of the sparking mountain?
To find out the answers to these questions and more, you must delve further into the tale...
