Trouble In The Tree

A colorful and creative book about bullying and making friends. Silas and Tilly team up to help their new neighbor, Big Earl, get accustomed to his home, and overcome some nasty habits from childhood. Full of creatures and flora from beautiful Central Indiana. Tilly is a woodland pixie who has many wonderful adventures in the gardens and surrounding forests, and helps the various woodland creatures overcome their problems. Silas, a barn owl, is one of her closest friends. Big Earl is a newcomer to the neighborhood, a boisterous squirrel who has some strong feelings about how things should be run in their collective home. A wonderful children's book that helps young ones begin to understand conflict resolution and respect for one another's property, this book is beautifully illustrated from cover to cover, and features additional rear sections helping parents and teachers guide readers through the message of the book. Additionally, it includes added information about the local flora and fauna that are featured in the book.

If you're looking for a great gift for a child, a wonderful addition to any classroom or reading nook, look no further. The Trouble in the Tree is the second book in Tilly's universe, following her adventure in What Tilly Knows. Sharing the same author and illustrator, The Trouble in the Tree makes an excellent companion book and focuses on how to get to know new friends and resolve potential conflicts that come up. Many of us are carrying inner pain that causes us to lash out - and while its important to stand firm, its also important to be understanding and empathetic. No one knows better than Tilly!
