The Wisdom Tree - Illustrated Edition

Deep in an ancient forest stands a tree unlike any other.

It is said that Lady Wisdom herself planted her seed long ago. Once, people came to rest in her shade and eat from her fruit. But generations passed, the forest grew thick, and knowledge of the tree became little more than a fading story.

Then a young boy discovers her beneath branches heavy with strange purple apples.

At first, he wants only enough fruit to fill his stomach. But the tree has other plans. Through trade, work, questions, friendship, and difficult choices, she begins to teach him what wisdom really means: how to think clearly, create value, care for the earth beneath his feet, and love those around him without losing sight of the value of his own life.

As the boy grows, the lessons become more urgent. With tragedy on the doorstep, he must make a difficult choice before time runs out.

The Wisdom Tree is a richly illustrated fantasy story about courage, stewardship, friendship, sacrifice, reason, and the long work of becoming wise.

This illustrated edition brings the forest, its ancient guardian, and the boy's journey to life through full-color artwork.
