The Family Tree Will Always Grow - by Michael Lennon & Kipp Lennon & Mark Lennon & John Vester (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A New Children's Book from the publisher who brought you
The Invisible String...
In times of grief and loss, the healing power of music has been found to
transcend all ages, cultures, and boundaries. For children, coping with a
loss can be traumatic. A hug offers comfort, but compassionate and
meaningful words help their young hearts understand. Since 1999, a song
by Southern California band Venice, has been helping people transform a
painful experience into peace and acceptance with simple words and a
simple melody -- "The Family Tree."

The Family Tree Will Always Grow is a new children's book
based on this heartfelt song, designed to help kids cope with grief and
loss. In addition to the lyrics, this new book contains color illustrations
that kids of all ages can easily follow in a story about a family of birds,
their nest, loss, and a new life.

The song was first released in 1999 on their album "Spin Art" and after
25+ years of live performances, countless memorial recitals, with OVER
3.6 MILLION plays on Spotify and 1.2 MILLION Youtube views, "The Family
Tree" continues to unite people who hunger for the strength to keep
moving forward in life despite their loss.

Co-author Kipp Lennon writes: "When we first wrote the song 'The
Family Tree' for our band, Venice, it was a very personal song
meant to be a loving tribute to those in our family that have passed
on as well as a song of strength, shared loss and hope for those still
here. Much to our surprise, this simple, personal song took on a life
of its own as we watched it resonate and connect with people from
all around the world in ways we never could have imagined. It
turned out to be about their families too."

Review Quotes

"Venice, one of my favorite
bands, is quintessentially
Californian, with soaring
harmonies . . . I've seen
them knock out many unsuspecting
crowds, taking
the audiences, who had not
come to see them, completely
by surprise. It's
such a pleasure to play
with these guys because
they have that power."
-- Jackson Browne
