The Main Story

Little Johanna arrives at the base of the tree one day as she is running away from home. You can imagine her surprise when the tree starts to talk to her. He listens to her problems and offers ways to approach the different issues she has.

The friendship grows when she returns often or in times of change in her life and always with the same result. She gets advice and most importantly, a listening ear.

The story highlights the idea that listening is a key support to preteens and teenagers and that age-old solutions may often be useful - even nowadays.

Johanna goes through issues such as family relationships, exam stresses, judging others, the importance of saying sorry and more.

Autorenporträt

Martha Begley Schade is a writer and author of the highly acclaimed Galway Fairytales series. After years of working in business management, during which she had also written several books relative to her work, she has now put pen to paper to realize a lifelong dream of story-telling, a talent that was handed down through generations in her family. With a B.Sc. in physics & maths, and an MBA, her new venture into children's storytelling comes from a lifelong passion of entertaining and educating children. After 22 great years of living and working in Germany, she returned to Galway in 2008 with her two sons. The only place she ever wanted to live, she finds the Tribes people are the kindest and most caring she has ever met. Together with the sea air, the seagulls flying overhead, the buzz of the city, the glistening beaches and beautiful hills of Connemara, all combine to only cement her love for her adopted home.
