It was hard for Little Acorn to believe he would ever be a big, strong oak tree. But, as time passed, he grew, and his relationship with a little girl changed as they both grew. This is a wonderful story about growing up and how we all change.

For within every child is the special person God created, just waiting to grow. "'Just be the tree God made you to be,'said Mother Oak." Sometimes I forget that God has a plan for me. I never thought about it when I was little. I'd love to do an activity in the classroom where we speculate about what His plan will be for our lives. We could tie it to our character traits and what we enjoy doing. We could do an imaginative profile of where we'll be in twenty years. I think the students would love that. ( )

A heart-warming story of an acorn that wants to stay with his mom but must become a tree himself. "Within you is a great oak. Just be the tree God made you to be." And a great tree he becomes.
