THE MAGIC APPLE TREE is a modern fairy tale written in the romantic style of Hans Christian Andersen. A selfish child finds himself in the midst of an enchanted garden wherein lives the magic apple tree "who can heal the hearts of all who enter his realm." When the thoughtless boy chases the tree's friends, the children, out of the garden, the magic apple tree and West Wind combine their powerful magic to teach the child a lesson -- the Great Secret of Sharing. Rich, poetic language complemented by 32 exquisite and delicately detailed, full color illustrations. An enchanting story to be enjoyed over and over again by children ages 4 - 10 and by all who are young at heart.

Industry Reviews

Roberta Jean Nowlin has been enchanting audiences of children and adults alike ever since singing "Over the Rainbow" at 14 to a sold-out school production of The Wizard of Oz. Decades later, her performances as a singer and storyteller still carry a dusting of magic from the wand of Good Witch Glinda. Be they children or adults, she transports liteners and reader to that inner place which each person knows as "home."

Indeed, Roberta Jean Nowlin has been on a life journey to bring a bit of magic through her voice and stories to children around the world, from the Native lands of the American Northwest to the poorest communities of the Caribbean to the famous mountaintops of Colorado, where she lives and performs today. The Magic Apple Tree is her labor of love to spark a bit of magic in children everywhere.Filled with playful and beautiful illustrations and words, Robera Jean Nowlin's book will be delighting children for generations.

A jewel. A beautiful book in every way -- the story, the message, the illustrations. It is the kind of a book you receive as a child, take with you to college and keep on your shelf to read to your grandchildren. A real treasure. --- Asha Nayaswami, meditation teacher, lecturer, author of numerous books on spirituality and yoga, including Swami Kriyananda: Lightbearer

The Magic Apple Tree by Roberta Nowlin is a sweet, tender, brightly illustrated story that opens the eyes of children to the joy of sharing. -- Wendi J Silvano, author of the best selling Turkey Trouble
