God's Oak Tree

By Allia Zobel Nolan

Book Overview

All sorts of wonderful things happen when an acorn turns into an oak tree. As the acorn opens and takes root in the soil, a new tree starts to grow. As the tree stretches higher into the sky, blue jays and red cardinals make the branches their home. And soon, new acorns fall to the ground and plant new trees. As parents read this special story, children can turn the pages and watch the tree grow taller, inviting children to learn about God's role as creator and sustainer of all life . . . including theirs.

A must-have for children

God's Oak Tree by Allia Zobel Nolan is based on The Acorn and the Oak Tree by Lori C. Froeb. The story is accompanied by the Bible verse, Genesis 1:11. God has a plan for everything. And to illustrate His plan, Allia Zobel Nolan tells the story, in rhyme, of an acorn that grows into a mighty oak tree. The book's layout is unusual and I can't even describe it. I will just say that there is an illustration of an acorn and when you turn the pages, a bit of the acorn disappears and part of the oak tree appears in its place, until all you see is the mighty oak tree. Children will be attracted to God's Oak Tree for the beautiful illustrations, the unique layout and the lyrical verse. Armchair Interviews says: This is a must have for children. The message is powerful and the story is memorable.
