Pensacola Beach, FL - Award-winning author Tammy Cranston delivers a timeless and tender new story with Rooted: A Mature Tree’s Journey, a children’s book that speaks to readers of all ages about love, loss, resilience, and the profound bond between humanity and the natural world. This Literary Titan Gold Book Award recipient is a stirring celebration of environmental stewardship, emotional growth, and intergenerational wisdom.

At the heart of the story is Dendro, a wise, old oak whose voice guides readers through changing seasons, unexpected challenges, and heartwarming moments of connection. When a serious threat looms, two courageous siblings step up to protect their beloved tree, reminding us all of the critical role we play in caring for the Earth.

In a beautifully layered narrative praised by Literary Titan as “a gentle hug in book form,” Cranston weaves together nature’s life cycles with the emotional milestones we all face.
