Summary
Details

Ever wonder why trees grow upright? Were they always like this, or did something happen that changed their appearance? Could it have resulted from some baseless rumour or someone being absent minded? In the story 'Why do trees grow straight up?' we journey through the picturesque Kingdom of Woodington where you can find the answers.

Have you ever thought about what it means to have a life of monotonous, bleak drudgery? Would a sudden change be a priceless gift or become the regret of a lifetime? 'A Quiet Desperation' takes us into the world of greedy dwarves, desperate to find a precious stone called Mithril. Will they find it? Or will their greed get the best of them?

Alexander A. Chan-Chiu has scripted a captivating and creativity-provoking children's book, enabling the little ones to look at life decisions more deeply while opening the gates for their infinite imagination. They will be sure to have a good bedtime!
