The Possibility Tree
"STOP! STOP what you're doing!" They all turned around to see Master Ming running toward them..."You must stop right now What have you learned? All of you! What have you learned?"
~Excerpt from The Possibility Tree
When Lan is chosen as one of Master Ming's special students she is honoured. But when she discovers that her Possibility Tree is both a blessinand a curse she must come to terms with her own place in the world.
As a mirror for Modern society, this gentle story reminds us of the unique gifts we each bring to theld and the place we each have in it.
"What a lovely book! I enjoyed the reading and the pictures. Very inspiring. Thank you." Ester Tejeda
"I blame you for my lack of sleep today. :) I was so tired last night and thought I would only read 10-20 pages of your book. I couldn't stop until I had read it all. I was moved by it. I think it's inspirational and beautiful." Eric Delisle
"I lay in bed thinking about it. It seems to me the book is a blue-print for life. Just imagine the consequence if millions of people got involved and encountered changes that students: Lan, Lang, Shin, Tai and Quiang did. The world would be a safer and happier place!" John Powell
"It is a good book - with particular relevance in the multicultural communities of today!" Catherine Yeung
