WHIMSICAL TALES 
by Lucia Alberti, author and illustrator

On a simple walk through her neighborhood park, Anne and her dog Fiddles discover the unexpected - Professor Oliver, a gentle guardian only ten inches tall, and visible only to her.

 

Both are astonished. How could this be? Oliver, begins to wonder...Could Anne be the one meant to share the park's true importance with the world?

 

He leads her to the park's hidden heart: the two old trees by the bench who remember everyone who ever lingerd there...the lively tree who sways to passing music...the cozy nursery of hopeful young saplings..and the mighty chestnut watching over them all.

 

Listenting to their storeis, Anne feels something new take root - a joyful sense of purpose and promise to care for the world she loves.
