My Bent Tree
As a parent of a child with special needs and a person concerned with preserving our environment, I was thrilled to come across Kathy Brodsky's My Bent Tree. The story is powerful and moving; it fosters awareness, strength, and hope, and demonstrates that great things can be accomplished through belief and perseverance. While the older reader will appreciate the message, the rhythmic verse and fabulous illustrations will have the young ones asking for My Bent Tree again and again! --Selena Sheaves, author, chairperson, Haggerty Special Needs Advisory CouncilDon't be fooled by this book. Though it looks like a children's book, it appeals to people of all ages -- parents, teachers, guidance counselors, librarians -- and to non-readers, as well. My Bent Tree addresses differences, the environment, and survival....and offers lots of opportunities for discussion based on the questions the author has included at the back of the book. --Louise Forseze, teacher, founder, Peak Education PerformanceThis story is so amazing! It is a story about friendship and loyalty. It was very fun to read the story. --Natalie Jenkins, Age 7, Nashua, NHDon't be fooled by this book.
