About “A Gumdrop Tale”

I began this project because I believe in the importance of learning and growth. This book was written to open doors to many different types of conversations with children, relevant to the challenges they are experiencing today. The narrative unfolds revealing important themes, including:
  • Unity and Working Together
  • Awareness of Ourselves and Our Environment
  • Acceptance of Others and of Ourselves
Within the pages of this tale, relevant messages await discovery. The lessons are subtly woven throughout the story, inviting readers to seek and engage with them.
  • Dealing with Negative Influences
  • Resolving Conflict

A Little Peek Inside the Tale

"As the unusual stranger walked along the path, inching ever closer to the sparkling mountain, his face twisted into a grin so devious you could feel it in your bones. He carried with him a mysterious suitcase with strange seeds hidden inside. He intended on planting them when the time was right."

Questions to Consider:

To find out the answers to these questions and more, you must delve further into the tale.
  • Who is this unusual stranger?
  • What do his mysterious seeds grow?
  • What of the sparking mountain?
