A Tree Farm

About the Book

A Tree Farm is a delightful story about a family that lives on a tree farm, who grows and manages trees. It is the first in a series of fiction stories that take place on the tree farm. The characters in this book find value in their family and home and lifestyle. The young man in A Tree Farm depicts an individual who makes the most of his abilities to help in his family business, and finds reward in doing so. The book is written for seven to nine year old readers, however, can be read and enjoyed by other ages. While A Tree Farm is a sort of process book, there are many lesson planning ideas presented.

About the Author

My name is Angi Libal (AKA “Miss Angi”). I was born and raised in Oregon City, Oregon where I’ve admired tree farms since childhood. My mother had nine children. She worked at home and took care of us kids. A fond memory of my mom during my childhood is when she would think up and write down stories, with pictures, to read to us. My mother is one of my greatest inspirations. After graduating from high school and receiving my first degree in college, I had the opportunity to teach Kindergarten and early Elementary for a few years. I’ve written this story to help teachers who can use an idea or prop to add to there curriculum. After teaching, I sought my interests in Residential Planning and Interior Design at the Art Institutes (another dream that was inspired much by my mother). It was there and then I decided to illustrate the pictures in my stories. My childhood dream is being accomplished in creating The Tree Farm and the stories that follow. I have no children of my own; however, I do have an affectionate and expressive cat named Pirate. He is a recue kitty born with four legs and three paws. He’s a loyal pet and follows me around my yard wherever I go. Pirate gets around as if he had no limitations, he knows no different.
