THE OLDEST LIVING THING, THE METHUSELAH TREE, IS BORED, BORED, BORED, UNTIL…
…a Mayfly, who lives for only one day, buzzes into his life and for her, everything is new, new, new! Can she change Methuselah Tree’s old attitude and help him feel young again?
You might not think it’s possible for the 4,800-year-old massive tree to change his 4,800-year-old ways. But you’ve never met the tiny mayfly, a loveable, filled-with-joy character who is so busy buzzing around and smelling the flowers, she doesn’t understand when the crotchety tree says, “What have you got to be so happy about? You’re not going to be here tomorrow!”
Because instead of getting angry, she looks up and asks, “What’s tomorrow mean?”
This book has already been called a modern-day classic and The BookFest awarded it First Place 2022 in children’s picture books for the depth and humor of its story and illustrations.
Here are parts of two typical reviews: “A lovely, gentle book with beautiful illustrations and a compelling message about appreciation and awareness.” “…a wonderful way to stop and smell the roses every once in a while. Not knowing about yesterdays or tomorrows, the little mayfly lives for this very moment, as should we.”
