A tiny acorn shaken from its mother's strong branches becomes a mighty oak-not by trying to be like other trees and flowers, but by heeding the mother oak's sage advice: \"Just be the tree God made you to be.\" Likewise, a girl does some soul-searching of her own-often under the protective shade of the mighty oak-as she grows up and prepares to make her way in the world. Suffused with echoes of The Giving Tree, Lucado's story will likely reverberate with a wide audience. Angelini's hazy, bucolic oils capture flora and fauna at their sunlit best, and will likely have readers longing for a stroll among trees and flowers. Ages 5-10.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tommy Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709818966103,"sku":"9781400306015","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2695\/3815\/files\/The-Oak-Inside-the-Acorn-Paperback-9781400317332_56bc2f98-82c1-46e2-99d7-2a6148b45350.e343e13d9accbf191139487befb0720c.avif?v=1755009539","url":"https:\/\/blueberrypatchlp.com\/products\/the-oak-inside-the-acorn-hardback","provider":"The Blueberry Patch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
