The Little Tree By Muon Van Illustrated by JoAnn Adinolfi
這本繪本是在講關於父母放手的過程尤其是在戰亂中的移民潮的父母心情。剛開始閱讀的時候還沒有很深的感受，一直到第二次靜下心來慢慢的閱讀文字和圖片而有了不一樣的感受。
讀完後再閱讀作者書寫這個故事的由來更是滿滿的感動。
作者說她媽媽應該曾經問過自己這些問題吧？身爲母親的我也經常問自己這些問題, 也一直在學習放手, 讓孩子可以走向屬於他自己的生命道路
Am I brave enough for the job?
Have I done everything I can?
When the time comes, will I be able to let my child go so she can live a life I can't even imagine?
In the shadows of an old forest stood a little tree.
She was so small, she was the smallest tree of all.
When the little tree was a young sapling, the forest ranged farther than the eye could see.
Now, after many seasons of less and less rain, the little tree could easily tell where the
forest began and where it ended.
The new trees were smaller, too.
The older trees had grown so tall, they had almost touched the stars.
The new trees could barely see over their ancestors' knees.
The littlest tree of all worried.
The little tree looked at her little seed.
The sun rose and the sun set.
The little tree looked up at the stars and wondered,
' What do they see?"
