I wanted to write something about the wildfires, how they could be tamed. I grew up In the west coast and my heart hurt to see how the wildfires were increasing. Wildfires are necessary for the soil to regenerate but the fires are becoming destructive and way to large. My friend Renata gave the tree life in the story by giving it emotions. And of course Marc's illustrations makethe story soar. His favorite was the girl, Lissa in the swing. I hope you enjoy THE BRAVEST TREE. - MHM

Review from Goodreads - 5 star rating
Apr 08, 2021Patrycja rated it was amazing Have you ever wonder how to talk to kids about wildfires? This lovely book can be the answer. Authors Marian Hailey- Moss and Renata Holt present a story of a Tree. Tree is loved by animals and people but when the fires start to destroy the nature around, poor tree can't run. Because obviously trees are rooted in the ground. This story will help kids understand the importance of trees and also plant based diet. It's a wonderful book for children. And the colorful illustrations make it a pleasant read, even though the topic is serious. "OMG, I just read your book. I love it! It's absolutely beautiful." Victoria Moran vegan author, producer of A PRAYER FOR COMPASSION film." "Ordered my book from Amazon. The fires make my heart ache and my lungs suffer!" Lizzy I read the book 'THE BRAVEST TREE' since last week to my 5 year old girl, Kendall, I didn't expect this would be the book she keeps asking me to read every night! It has all the elements that kids like, trees, bear, dear, dog, birds, butterflies and fascinating fire approaching. She keeps asking about the red smokes towards the end if it is fire, how near it is, what climate change means, and where the little girl's house is. And Kendall really likes the part where the little girl fell down from a tree and saw everything in shimmering light. Nice illustrations too! Tara from Castello in Red Bank Thank you for this fascinating book, I think my daughter is ready for longer pages like this! "I just received and read your beautiful, "The Bravest Tree." It is such a gift to our suffering world. Thank you for contributing light and love through your delightful books!" Davy Davidson "I enjoyed reading The Bravest Tree. It was dramatic and ends with the positive feeling or rebirth and regeneration. The little trees will grow." Chris Stover "What an achievement! I both smiled and found myself in tears. How often does that happen?" Peter Filchia |

“And the magical fruit you gave us each summer! Everyone who ate them felt better and wiser . . . for a while, at least. The pigs and chickens loved them, too. They oinked and cackled nonstop. Yesterday, I thought I might be a fortune teller when I grow up. I practiced by putting your leaves in a teacup and reading my fortune. The leaves said, “Plants, plants, plants!” Three times! As if our lives depended on it. It gave me the shivers."
