I started this project because I believe in learning, and the importance of growth. This book is meant to open doors, through themes, to many different types of conversations with children. “A GUMDROP TALE” holds many hidden lessons as well.  

This is an excellent book for Grades 2 to 3 teachers and up; other educators; for parents and families; and for libraries and also for schools.

 Relevant Messages are uncovered 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 

The lessons imbedded in this tale, you must look for to discover.

Compelling illustrations reinforce themes, while also revealing what the text does not.

Questions to Consider:

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...
