Publisher's Synopsis
In a quiet glen of glowing berries and soft whispers, a kind-hearted tree named Rowena learns the power of saying "no" without losing her light.
The Not So Giving Tree: Learning Boundaries with Baba Yaga is a tender, magical tale for children and grown-ups alike. Written in the spirit of old folklore and forest wisdom, it follows Rowena-a Rowan tree who gives and gives until there's nothing left-and Drazhan, a charming wanderer who learns that true kindness begins with respect.
Guided by the timeless voice of Baba Yaga, this story gently introduces young readers to the concept of healthy boundaries, self-worth, and the courage it takes to stand tall. Paired with luminous illustrations and playful forest creatures, it's a perfect read-aloud for bedtime, classrooms, and story circles.
