Under Mother Tree in Bloomington, MN

Under Mother Tree is a story about self-acceptance wrapped in the science of tree communication.
It's Sapling's birthday, and all she wants is to be tall. She wants to feel the warmth of full sun on her leaves. But she lives in the shade of Mother Tree.
A storm rattles the forest. Bird goes missing. Frog tries to save her but a riddling spider blocks the path. Will Frog rescue Bird in time for Sapling's birthday party? Will Uncle Grumpy stop being grumpy? Just when you think it's calm in the woods, CATERPILLARS!
Join Sapling's wild ride. Maybe being little isn't so bad.
