The Whispering Tree Monica Safin Fedak

Join a young boy on his journey to discover the beauty and wonder that nature has to offer in The Whispering Tree. Early in the spring, the boy discovers that the natural world is a fun and inspiring place to play and spend his time. While observing the intricacies of nature, he expands his imagination in ways such seeing the clouds as more than clouds and imaging the intentions of the insects he discovers.

Inspired by a love for nature, The Whispering Tree aims to encourage children's imagination and desire to play outdoor as nature offers a rich sensory experience that is ideal to promote healthy mental and physical development for young children. Each page of the story was individually crafted using acrylic backgrounds and hand sculpted clay figures and mixed media details. With the turn of each page, the scenery shifts slightly as nature is constantly evolving with each gust of wind.


Starting in late spring, and ending the following spring, the little boy's journey continues through each season, discovering unique attributes throughout. From sunny skies in the summer to changing leaves in the fall and even to snow in the winter, the little boy continues to use his imagination to discover all that nature has to offer. Finally, the young boy shares his favorite outdoor place with his little sister, sharing a special sibling moment full of love.
