Book Synopsis

"Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord. [...] They think about his law day and night. That kind of person is like a tree planted near a stream of water. It always bears its fruit at the right time." - Excerpt from Psalm 1, The Psalm of David

In this inspirational story, God planted 5 trees-Firi Firtree, Pinely Pine Tree, Larry Cedar, Oaklan Oak, and Juniper Broomley in Edenwild Forest. Each tree is blessed with their own natural abilities and benefits - and it's time for each of them to show them off in Nature's Talent Show! But not every tree can be as tall as Larry Cedar or as strong as Oaklan.Who will take home the prize for Most Stunning Tree, and will the friends come together, when they need each other most, when a hurricane blows in?!

2) 'Blessed and Beautiful' is an engaging and meaningful story which weaves Scripture and truth into its narrative. My 5 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed it and shared that it reminded her of God's love for all creation. She also appreciated the artwork and the activities at the end of the book. As a parent, it was a joy to be able to read the story to my daughter and reflect with her on its message. I would warmly recommend it to others! - David, Aberdeen Christian Fellowship

3) Oshaye's third in her Mini Psalm Book Series 'pairs Bible psalms with a group of animated trees in this endearing story. The story's ending is both prickly and sweet...but the art of Yana Popova, especially the realistic facial expressions on Edenwild's evergreen residents, gives the tale a soft, entertaining edge. Biblical concepts spring up throughout, as the trees discuss scripture, pray together, and proclaim they are "planted here to display God's glory." - Excerpt from BookLife Review
