MOM'S CHOICE AWARDS(r) GOLD MEDALIST: A STORY AS AGELESS AS THE
FOREVER TREES IT CELEBRATES. "Suddenly Mother jumped to her feet
and ran to one of the trees, a three-hundred-foot-tall redwood.
''Forever tree Forever tree '' she cried, smiling. She swept the
skinny girl up into her arms. The child s pale skin shimmered in
the golden forest light. ''Forever trees, forever trees, '' they
sang, spinning in circles. The memory melted into the fog, and
Eliza felt very tired. The question came again to her. It appeared
out of the gray, out of the damp, out of the cold corners of this
new house. The question whispered it always did the kind of whisper
that sounded very loud indeed: Where had Mother gone? Shadows
appeared and disappeared in Eliza's mind. Still, she couldn't
remember. She simply could not remember anything after that last
story in the forest. For some reason, she wasn't terribly worried.
She was a little worried, for sure, but not terribly worried,
because a strange calm held the shadows and the question. It held
Eliza, too. Because love is forever. "The clearest way into the
universe is through a forest wilderness." --John Muir -What fans
are saying: "Eliza's Forever Trees is a compelling and powerful
account, very highly recommended...it stands out as an exceptional
tale of personal and world discoveries. Add Alex Walton's vivid
drawings and you have beautiful creation of hope and color."--
Diane Donovan, Children's Editor, Midwest Book Review, Children's
Bookshelf "Stephanie Lisa Tara's writing has such a perfect balance
of lightness and depth; the reader sees all creatures, (even
snakes) as part of a kind kingdom inhabited with their own native
tongue. Her creativity gives the reader treats like French speaking
squirrels and a fan favorite in her L-ladybug lingo. "Eet eez
mine," the squirrel said in her French accent, which made her angry
glare all the more assertive. "Oh mly," said the ladybug. "Ohhhhh
mllllly," said several other ladybugs. --Mare Henderson, Teacher,
Mom "I have read many children's books during my career as an
Elementary School Principal. This book is in every way a fine
example of the type of literature we should be reading to and with
our children. I highly endorse it and hope that you enjoy is as
much as I." --Barbara Glazer, Retired Principal, Mom "Eliza's
Forever Trees is a rich and meaningful story, flowing with
beautiful language and vivid vocabulary...sure to please nature
lovers--perhaps it will even make nature lovers of those who are
not." --Lee Edward Fodi, Children's Author, Illustrator "This
wonderful book is a timeless tale about children and loss, the
healing power of nature, how a little girl found her voice again
and came to understand that love can never die." --Nathalie Fraise,
Nutrition Educator, Mom ''Enchanting story . . . the writing
lyrical: 'She had always been here, always watching and protecting,
guarding her family, as all mothers do, for mothers always come
back.' '' --Ricki Lewis, Geneticist, author, mom ''Some books
actually become the place where they are set . . . they describe a
natural environment so completely, so deeply, so succinctly, so
magically, and so sweetly that this place actually comes to
enchanted life...did I mention the magical quality of the writing?
The author's strings of words are so tasty you will not be hungry
while you read . . . each delicious spaghetti sentence is a length
of truth that you can twirl up on your fork and devour quickly.''
--Brian Heffron, Filmmaker, poet, d
