The Baobab Tree

by Brian K. Fulmer

Young Daniel resents that he is not like other children with strong legs that can walk and run. He fears that God is punishing his family. But learning the truth about the ugly baobab tree that grows in the center of his village helps Daniel realize that God has a purpose for every person, no matter how deformed and different they may appear. The baobab tree with its upside down gnarled branches resembling roots sticking up in the air has intrigued people for thousands of years. Legends abound. But this heart-warming story by Brian Fulmer perhaps captures the essence of God's purpose of this unique tree that creates hope and purpose. This children's book is beautifully illustrated by Velma Magill.

I won this book off of the Good Reads Giveaway. I really enjoyed this book. It is a very uplifting book for all children to understand disabilities and our importance and uniqueness. Written in a manor children can understand. It is written in a Christian theme. A great read and must have for all bible study libraries and homes.

A sweet story that teaches us that even if you're different and can't do what others can do, you still have a purpose and special talents and qualities that others do not have. Well written with beautiful hand painted illustrations!

A sweet and simple story about seeing the value in ourselves even if we are different from others.
