Fairy tales have a long history of magical story telling. Little Green Tree enters into the world of imagination, to tell of a small evergreen tree that feels lonesome in a great forest, because it is the only one of its kind. It longs to be free and see what the world is all about. It travels far and wide and learns many things. When full grown, it returns to its forest home to share its experiences. There, it is deeply challenged by a jealous and powerful leader. The Tree is not alone, however, but has wise nature friends who guide it through its challenging journey and leads it to a surprising victory. This fairy tale invites children into the world of nature to help them become aware that trees are living beings that humans everywhere need to protect and preserve. It is also meant as an aid for second language learners, in either English or Spanish. This 36 page, bilingual English/Spanish tale includes twelve pastel / ink drawings and five pages of activities.

Karlene Mostek lives in Chicago and currently writes about and illustrates various nature scenes. She has been deeply influenced by Native American wisdom, which teaches that the land is sacred space and all life forms on it should be reverenced and protected. The Little Green Tree/El Arbolito Verde grew out of the author's desire to use the fairy tale as a way to help young people appreciate trees as well as aid them to learn another language. In our time, we are learning from both Native American wisdom, and from the scientific world, that trees are indispensable to life as we know it on Earth. They help us breathe, provide foods of all types, shade from the sun, and shelter for both humans and non-humans. It is hoped that this little fairy tale with its story, drawings, questions and games, will help develop in the young person, an awareness for the beauty and gifts of all trees and a desire to help preserve them.
