About The Apple Tree
More than a picture book for children, The Apple Tree by author and lawyer Steven Moe resonates with adults and is an inspiring story that encourages those who give much but are unseen.
As the seasons pass, an apple tree grows and wonders why it has been left alone with no purpose. This story is a reflection on the nature of things we can’t perceive, and the impact we can have on the world beyond our own imagination.
Author Note
‘There are a number of influences that shaped the story. One of them is that my grandfather planted an Apple Tree back in the late 1940s, in a sunny meadow full of wild sweet peas and birds swooping in among its branches, right near a small stream that I lived by for a time when I was a child. It is near a place called Twain Harte in California. My uncle lives there now and says that it is still producing apples today. I wonder how far and wide its apples have spread, and how many people have tasted them? I certainly remember my grandmother’s apple pies, mixed in with the wild blackberries that grew in the valley as well that we picked on hot summer days.’
