This short story is about a mother wanting balance for her children. She wants her children to spend more time outdoor exercising, running and having fun. One weekend mom encouraged her children to stop playing video games and streaming movies while sitting on the couch and spend some time in the local National Park. While at the park the children, Nathan and his sister, met a mythical and magical Gnome, named Gob. Gob the Gnome explained to the children what his role is at the National Park, and how to plant seeds to grow trees.
I chose to add a Gnome as one of the main characters because since the 1400s, folklore has described Gnomes as guards of treasure and the protector of earth. Gnomes represents stability, growth and Good Luck. My six children books all revolve around a Gnome, the protector of a local forest who became friends with Nathan and Iris.
Review: What a waste of a beautiful day!
See how one mom gets her kids to drop their gadgets and go outside. Their mom
was right and the hike in the forest was fun. But what happens when these
youngsters stray too far and get lost?
A funny-looking gnome will teach these kids how a tree can come from apple seedlings.
With cute and vibrant pictures, this was a fun read. What an educational adventure! Story is a good illustration of the importance of trees.
