Happy Book Birthday: MOON TREE – The Story of One Extraordinary Tree PLUS Giveaway

I’m always excited to sing Happy Birthday to new children’s books that are launching. But you’ll have to forgive me for being ESPECIALLY joyful today. The author of MOON TREE: The Story of One Extraordinary Tree was my #PBChat Mentee in 2020. And this was the manuscript that she submitted for the mentorship program. I fell in love with Carolyn Fraiser’s writing and I’m so thrilled that story is now a real live book!!!
