Synopsis

Have you ever wished to find a dollar tree? What would you do if you found one? A young boy, Lincoln, just happens to discover a dollar tree in an amazing secret garden. Is it a coincidence that strange things begin to happen when he does not share his treasure with others? The boy struggles with a wise old woman's advice and his childish desires. Should he listen to his inner voice or give in to temptations? In the end, Lincoln learns a valuable lesson about giving and receiving in return. From the proceeds of this book, a donation will be given to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

About this title

About the Author:

Mary Ann Vitale is a bilingual, Amazon Best Selling award-winning author of children's books. She is married and has three grown children. She loves spending quality time with her eight grandchildren, teaching them the wonderful traditions learned from her heritage. Mary Ann never dreamed of writing children's books. The language barrier was a challenge to her writing career. She was born in Sicily. As a young child, she always loved books, even though they were not available. At a young age, she moved to the U.S.A. She attended Cosmetology School and college. She is fluent in the Italian, Sicilian, and English languages. At the age of fifty, she wrote her first story for children. Urged by constant inspiration, she wrote many other stories and poems. One day, she woke up with the realization "a writer was born!" Mary Ann has always kept in close contact with her inner child. She taps in her Sicilian folklore to entertain and cultivate children and the child in all of us. Mary Ann wants to spread the joy of her books to many children all over the world.

Review:

"Could there actually be a dollar tree? Mary Ann Vitale has written a delightful book for elementary children. I read it with my granddaughter this mnorning. Her eyes widened when Lincoln was taken into the special garden where fruit resembles angels and smiles." Peggy M. "I think that many elementary school children will be able to identify with Lincoln and his feelings. Soft, expressive images accompanying the text assist in creating the mood and the message. Recommended especially for children in the five through eight age range." Barbara Mojica "The Street Where the Dollar Tree Grew is a refreshing story about doing good to others. It is a wonderful way to teach children the importance of giving to others and sharing. This is the perfect time to share this book with the Christmas season around the corner." Jjspina

"The Street Where the Dollar Tree Grew" took me back to younger years reading books with mystical enchantments, so I want to thank author Mary Ann Vitale for writing a book with such a storyline which gives children today that same magical feeling. Too, I enjoyed the storyline and lessons learned within the context of this book. First, it is important for children to realize promises should be kept. In addition, it's always good to give, rather than receive, but the nice "little old lady" was kind enough to give Lincoln a second chance. Children should believe in, and have hope for second chances as well. This book would be great for teachers who want to center on lessons such as obedience, keeping promises, giving to others and second chances. I hope to see this book around for a long, long while.
