This story was written about a real-life experience with her son and first appeared in Crystal McVea's New York Times bestseller Chasing Heaven. It has been told in many classrooms, teen camps and workshops across North America and is loved by audiences of all ages.About the illustrator: Debbie Gillund inherited her love of art from her maternal grandmother, who painted with her at an early age and always had the foresight to put down a tarp.

Jonathon's beautiful legacy lives on through the pages of this book and through his message of knowing who you are and loving that person." -- Crystal McVea, New York Times bestselling author "I AM NOT A TREE! has become an integral part of Choices Seminars' Teen Camps, both in Canada and Texas. Kelly masterfully facilitates this heartwarming experience that children of all ages can relate to. I am so excited to see it in print and to be able to share it with hundreds of families that have already come to know and love it." --Melinda Howell, Owner of Choices Seminars
