Traveling through the circle of life, this loving tale helps young minds of any age explore the wonder of Great Spirit, Mother Earth, and Father Sky. And be inspired to appreciate the beauty of giant trees like the Redwoods in Northern California that inspired old lone pine in the story. Year after year seasons come and go. The precious ecosystem of plants and animals fostered by the great trees are supported by their loving existence. Just imagine if you will, the magical effects of one tiny pinecone to create the most perfect tree for a growing family of eagles to nest in!

A beloved mother/grandmother by the name of Liliana channeled this story through the author after she passed on to reside in the great beyond. Liliana had great respect and reverence for all living creatures great and small. It was important to her that children of all ages know and understand that all life is connected and intertwined in this grand circle of life.

This story is her gift to the world; to instill hope and inspiration in all of us and especially for our children whose future depends on their participation in the stewardship of our natural world. We humans are not separate from any other living being and in fact, we depend on each other to survive. Loving care is a gift as depicted by the old lone pine who fosters a precious ecosystem of plants and animals growing and thriving through the years.
