The Ancient Oak (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781951960483)

B.J. Jewett uses her unique voice to engage readers of all ages in the tale of The Ancient Oak. Told in verse, it is a lovely story about friends and the beauty of nature. She writes about the gifts of each season and the comfort found in friendships. The stunning illustrations by master artist Martin Bellmann bring the characters to life as we witness the blooming friendship between tree and girl.

"Some believe that trees communicate among themselves, passing messages within the grove. In recent years, from blogs to books, people have begun to write about the possibility of communication between humans and trees. Whether seated in meditation among the forest, or sitting quietly beside a favored ancient one, some people have opened to the possibilities that in some form trees and people are communicating, are interacting.

In The Ancient Oak, Jewett writes of the happiness of one young girl who opens herself to an ancient tree." -Helena Clare Pittman, author of Ruthie Pincus of Brooklyn, A Grain of Rice, A Dinosaur for Gerald, and many more.
