As parents we know that spending quality time with our children is very important. Story time can be a wonderful way to do that. The time spent together reading and sharing can not only create but also strengthen family bonds, and what we choose to read with our kids can enhance that family experience. The story in my book, The Trees and the Land of Other Waters will captivate the imagination of your children and speak into the heart of the parent. It's a story written for both parent and child, and a unique experience to give you a window into your child's view of self.
The main character is a young tree named Whisper who lives in the land of Serenity with God and all His other majestic trees. Whisper is perfect just the way God made her, but deep down she is struggling with the feeling that she is just not good enough. This leads to her making a decision that takes her far from God and His plan for her. The whimsical tale brilliantly tackles issues of shame, feelings of unworthiness, and the challenges of self-acceptance, and demonstrates how trusting God and His love can conquer all the things we as humans struggle with. Your family will get caught up in Whisper's adventure and you will find unexpected opportunities for meaningful conversations with your children. Parents will see themselves in Whisper, and children will learn how to apply God's word practically in their own young lives.

About the Author
Hello Macaroni Kids readers! My name is Andrea Dial, and I am a new author and blogger who has lived in Port Saint Lucie for almost 21 years. I remember faithfully using Macaroni KID as a parenting resource, so I am thrilled to be able to share my book on this platform.
The Trees and the Land of Other Waters took me 9 years to complete, and it was born from my own experience of raising 4 kids and trying to teach them the love of God in a way they could understand and find exciting at the same time.
My blog, Discipled Sprouts, was an unexpected addition that was developed shortly before my book was published. It sprung from the love I have for encouraging people and leading parents in educating their children in the word of God. This entire journey has been a daunting surprise and also a work in progress. Trying to balance work and family, in addition to learning how to promote a book and write a blog, has been challenging to say the least. As comrades in the realm of motherhood, I know you all understand far too well that challenge! If you're looking for practical ways to live out the word of God for both you and your kids, check out my new blog at discipledsprouts.com.
