It is a story, in poetic form, about a mother who teaches her little one to be strong and independent. Little Robin Redbreast is very unsure and uncertain but with the encouragement and loving support from his mother, he spreads his wings and prepares to fly. All the animals in the forest wait and watch for the big event. They gather beneath the branch and join together to celebrate when Little Robin Redbreast finally launches himself from the nest and soars toward the sun.
"Butterfly and Friends" is a delightful story in poetic form about a little Butterfly who has just lost his best friends. Ant and Flea walk by and see a sad Butterfly on bended knee.

"Beautiful, useful, inspirational" BBC Wildlife Book of the Month "A delight on every page" Evening Standard In 1664, the horticulturist and diarist John Evelyn wrote Sylva, the first comprehensive study of British trees. It was also the world's earliest forestry book, and the first book ever published by the Royal Society.

The result is a fabulous resource that describes all of the most important species of tree that populate our land...
"Acorns to Great Oaks: Meditations for Children" helps children to become and stay aware of the world around them, aware of their own fabulousness, aware of energy, aware of their thoughts and feelings influencing their lives and that of others, aware of their connection with this beautiful planet we live on, and aware of how they can change anything for the better, easily and quickly, in order to create trust, strength and happiness.

We need to teach children how to manage their own behavior instead of having others man...
