IF ANCIENT TREES COULD TALK, WHAT STORIES THEY COULD TELL!! Alamo Tree is a TRUE story about a REAL place.
This winner of the June Franklin Naylor Award for The Best Children's Book on Texas History describes the monumental events surrounding the siege and famous battle at The Shrine of Texas Liberty.

Holmes, Tana: - Tana Holmes is the author and creator of beautifully illustrated and creatively constructed books for children of all ages. She is best known for The History Tree Series, where the story-telling tree asks the young reader, "If old trees could talk, what tales could they tell?" The Old Patriarch Tree is set in Holmes' native Wyoming, in Grand Teton National Park. The Dueling Oak relates tales of New Orleans since its founding. Her best-known work, Alamo Tree earned The Daughters of The Republic of Texas' June Franklin Naylor Award for "The Best Children's Book on Texas History." The unique use of easy reader combined with "Reader Guidance" footnotes helps the adult reader enrich the content as the child's development warrants. Holmes' new series, The NOT Scary Books, use fantasy and familiar experiences to create tear-free, fear-free adventures out of first-time visits. The unknowns of the doctor, the dentist, daycare, and other dreaded outings have changed from fearful, to fascinating and fun. Mrs. Holmes has a background in emergency medicine and public administration prior to choosing a career as a health science educator. Entering her 3rd decade of teaching medicine to high school and college students, she divides her time between teaching and authorship. Home is Houston, Texas with her firefighter husband and two rescue dogs. Her adult daughter and son in law are not far away in Austin.
