Nature and literature finely meshed in new picture book
HOUSTON, Texas (PRWEB) February 13, 2015 -- Being an educator has transformed author Portia McGowan Green into an avid writer. Laced with her wide imagination and fueled by the determination to reach and teach, she offers another exciting read for the little ones. “Jasmine and the Old Oak Tree” (published by Xlibris) is Green’s latest story about an inquisitive child who wants to know more about the inhabitants of the tree in her great aunt’s yard.
Inspired by the curious nature of her great niece, Jasmine, the author decided to write a story that will educate other inquisitive young minds out there. By telling the story of “Jasmine and the Old Oak Tree,” Green is able to introduce and describe the different inhabitants — such as insects and small reptiles — of a tree and the relationship each has with the plant. The different uses of the tree to humanity were also listed and discussed in the story.
Stirring children’s imagination with the facts it presents and catching their attention with the colorful illustrations, “Jasmine and the Old Oak Tree” is a sure hit to all little ones who have an innate love for nature and literature.
