Mr. Bark Lee and Friends began with a drawing of a tree in winter. My nieces and nephews said the tree was too scary. I explained how throughout the seasons, a tree will change, but it is still the same tree even without it it’s beautiful spring leaves.
That gave me the idea for Mr. Bark Lee, a wise old tree in the forest, who could teach his forest friends about life lessons, Bible verses, and morals. The characters have an innocence that endears them to the young readers.
