Overview
If ancient trees could talk, what stories they could tell!! Alamo Tree is a true story about a real place. The monumental events surrounding the siege and famous battle at The Shrine of Texas Liberty are told by an old live oak that still thrives in the courtyard of the mission in San Antonio Texas. The events in April 1836 established the enduring model for independence and freedom literally all over the world! What lessons can children learn from such a grim story? The tree explains that during those dark days there was the love of families, the courage of heroes, the teamwork of citizens from all over the globe, and leadership that ensured their losses were not in vain. The History Tree Series books provide enriching content to the adult reader so that they can share with the little ones who are hearing the tale. The loving guidance of a parent, teacher, or older reader will help the child understand the amazing events in their heritage and where they fit in the story. Rhyming text and beautiful illustrations will make your child want to color their OWN Alamo Tree!!

Reviews
Beautiful stories that make learning about history so much fun! Brilliant! We all loved the Alamo Tree story. What a great way to teach children history, and the lessons learned from history, in a fun and very creative way. I love the stories. I recommend them to all. They are delightful as well as very informative. The creative tree foundation will lend itself to many informative books for young and old alike. It's nice to have books to read with our children and grandchildren that are interesting and so well done. What a beautiful book! It is beautifully illustrated and what a unique approach! It's entertaining and I could see where children will identify and want to learn TX history through trees! Heck, I'm going to look for the tree when I go to the Alamo again!
