I was born in Alva, Oklahoma in 1931. I am a Korean disabled vet. I made up this story and told it to some kids that were unhappy to try and cheer them up.

Not to say that corporal punishment is the only way to discipline a child, there are other options to discipline a child such as the power of projection of the voice or body language. Sometimes you may find it to be more effective talking with the child or taking the child's toys away. Sometimes it may be more effective to simply put the child in time out or take the TV set, video games or cell phones. All kids are different so try different ways to punish your child without harming him or her.

Book summaryThe Wisdom of the Trees is really two sides of a coin in its intent. It was inspired by an experience that I had while helping some friends make maple syrup. They had a magnificent maple forest and invited my husband and I to help them tap the trees. Since Im an avid maple syrup lover and had been curious about the actual process of taking it from the trees through its transformation into something so delicious and precious that it has become costly to buy, I was excited to join in the fun and learn about the process too. Because my experience with the trees during this tapping was so mind boggling to me, I wanted to share it with children while they are young enough to incorporate a deeper appreciation of nature and gratitude for what nature provides into their viewpoints. The sharing came out in the form of a childrens fiction story based on my actual experience.In the story, my main character is a young, pre-teen aged boy named Ryan. His family, including a younger sister and several pets, has just moved from a city life into the country, and Ryan is not doing well. His unhappiness with the move affects everyone around him, with his parents worrying that they have made a mistake in thinking the move would be good for all of them. To make matters worse for Ryan, his sister is blissfully happy, while he mopes about wishing he were back with his friends and at his old school. The crux of the story occurs when the family decides on an outing to help out at a maple tree farm, and Ryan reluctantly accompanies them. During their time on the farm, surprising events occur that result in a powerful shift in Ryans attitude, transforming his outlook and giving him a new sense of purpose. Since the experience itself was real, the liberties I took were in creating a character who reflected me at that age and what I wished might have happened to me.

This book was inspired by and created for my own little princess. At the age of fifteen months my Alexa was a very social child who loved waving and talking to everyone. Like all parents I wanted to warn her of the dangers of going off with strangers without scaring her. At the time I started reading this book to her she was probably too young to fully get the significance of the story. However, we will continue to read this book from time to time so we remember to talk to her and all kids about how to be safe if they get lost or approached by strangers. I hope that you enjoyed the book and took the time to write your own phone number in the page as the Fairy Queens tracker, and remember that talking to kids is always the best way to prepare them.
