Book excerpt: A beautiful and heartfelt picture book to help children celebrate the memories left behind when a loved one dies. Fox has lived a long and happy life in the forest, but now he is tired. He lies down in his favourite clearing, and falls asleep for ever. Before long, Fox's friends begin to gather in the clearing. One by one, they tell stories of the special moments that they shared with Fox. And so, as they share their memories, a tree begins to grow, becoming bigger and stronger with each memory, sheltering and protecting all the animals in the forest, just as Fox did when he was alive. This gentle story about the loss of a loved one is perfect for sharing and will bring comfort to both children and parents.

Dying of cancer, her father Duane, finally returns.

Book excerpt: The Memory Tree recounts some actual events from Christmas 2007. The storyline, told in first person through the eyes of a toddler, features young Calvin, who delights in riding in Dad's pickup truck to Big Jim's Farm in search of two trees, a tall one for the house and a short one to be planted in the back yard, called a memory tree. As a toddler, he is quite the humorous helper, and together, Calvin and Dad transform this Christmas, because of a memory tree, into a tradition they will recapture for years to come. Reviews from Pfizer Kids, New London, Connecticut The Memory Tree was a great way to truly invite the reader to imagine what your holiday traditions with Calvin are. A nice traditional family story-Sue LaBella, Program Coordinator I loved the concept of this story. I found that, as a toddler teacher, I particularly enjoyed the flow of rhyming lines. I also found myself wanting more details about the 'memory' surrounding the act of tending to the small tree-Hope Wread, Toddler Lead Teacher FRED NEFF is writing a children's book series from real life fatherhood experiences with his toddler son, Calvin. The Memory Tree is the first in the series. "Stories told in rhyme seem to captivate children with an expectation of the next line. They love the repetition of being read to-especially in rhyme. The Calvin and Dad series, lets me explore a child's view of these important times with Dad." "I hope Calvin and Dad stories inspire dads everywhere to invest more time doing simple things in life with their kids (or any kids for that matter) to draw out the extraordinary love that children are just waiting to give in return for Dad's time. This is what creates precious moments and wonderful memories. I try to bring to you, the reader, and the listener, the joys of fatherhood-with a twist-as seen through the eyes of a toddler."

Book excerpt: From Jennifer Scoullar, author of the bestselling Fortune’s Son, comes the third book in the Tasmanian Tales series. The Memory Tree carries on this gripping saga of ambition, betrayal and dangerous love. Playing God is a Dangerous Game When forest protests engulf a tiny Tasmanian timber town, one family’s century of secrets threatens to destroy a marriage - and bring down a government. Matt Abbott, head ranger at beautiful Binburra National Park, is a man with something to hide. He confides his secret to nobody, not even his wife Penny. The deception gnaws away at their marriage. Matt’s father, timber and mining magnate Fraser Abbott, stands for everything Matt hates. Son disappoints father, father disappoints son – this is their well-worn template. But Fraser seems suddenly determined to repair the rift between them at any cost, and Matt will discover that secrets run in the family. When Sarah, a visiting Californian geneticist, tries to steal Matt’s heart, the scene is set for a deadly betrayal. The Memory Tree is a haunting story of family relationships, the unbreakable ties we all have to the past and the redemptive power of love.

The truth lies buried in the beech wood, forgotten for forty years. Can love unlock Ann's heart and mind? Connor Grenville is restoring the walled garden where his grandmother, Ivy used to play. Before her death, she tried to destroy the family archive. Who was Ivy trying to protect? And why? When a storm fells the Trysting Tree, revealing a century-old love hidden in its hollow heart, Ann and Connor begin to sift through the past in search of answers. What they discover changes everything. "The story doesn't start here. I need to go back. Back to a time when the beech tree still stood, when I didn't know the truth about my family and Connor didn't know the truth about his. Right back to a time when the twentieth century was young and the beech still kept its secrets..."

Linda Gillard proves yet again that she can write compelling stories about characters who may bow, but don't break. THE TRYSTING TREE will keep you spellbound." Lorna Fergusson, author of THE CHASE.

Book excerpt: As The Giving Tree turns fifty, this timeless classic is available for the first time ever in ebook format. This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.
