An inspiring story for the young mind A story for the receptive mind, the 'Tree of Life' is a simple but effective attempt to educate children and young adults on the fine art called LIFE. Story of a young protagonist who lives a noble life and attracts divine blessings to himself and those around him, the book inspires children to feel sympathy and empathy for their less fortunate fellow human beings. 'Tree of Life', was written with the intent to impart morals and share values the old 'grandparent way' -and is neither preachy nor vague. The story is simple and realistic, with some fairy tale charm thrown in to get the message through of the universal law of reward and punishment. The story is set in the Gulf countries, the Kingdom of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and revolves around one family. The story is taken forward by the events that happen to the family and its members. Though fate plays an important role in everything that happens in the story, it is the way the lead character handles tragic incidents and life as such that teaches the essential lessons of fine living to the young reader. Surely a value addition for the young reader.
