Description
The colorful children’s book, Tiny Teak, transports its readers to an exotic village in India. The main character, Tiny Teak, fears he will never grow big and tall or have purpose in life. With the help of his encouraging grandmother, Nani Tree, Tiny Teak learns invaluable lessons of patience and self-esteem. Inspired by the true story of a local missionary priest, Reverend Jerome Ziliak, who developed and taught sustainable farming methods in India for fifty years, this multicultural book sparks interest and conversation.
Co-authored by Amazon best-selling author, Mary Ellen Ziliak, and longtime pre-school director/teacher, Lucy Ziliak Will, the story is both entertaining and educational. A helpful glossary of “New Words of India” is included.
Illustrations are the work of celebrated artist, Joan Dewig deJong. A well-known piece of her art is The Screaming Eagle sculpture at the University of Southern Indiana which appears in many campus photos.
