Publisher's Synopsis
Stumpy is a young pine tree starting out on the adventure of life. He doesn't know why he has been put onto this planet, and looks enviously at some of the other trees around him that seem to have it all figured out. Just when he thinks he's found an answer, disaster strikes! With the help of some wise old friends along the way, and moments of self-reflection, find out if Stumpy can stand tall in front of some of life's most important challenges: finding a purpose of self, overcoming peer pressure and learning about community contribution. Stumpy is a short story to be enjoyed by parents and children alike.It is influenced by Buddhist philosophy and teaches the importance of being present, making positive choices and deciding what really matters in life. Stumpy will help to spark your child's imagination and will hopefully create a treasured family memory. Recommended as a bedtime story. Short enough to finish in one night, but with some themes to be discussed again and again.
