Wombat and the Family Tree

Spark curiosity in children about family history, genealogy, and their place within that legacy as Wombat's family tree project grows into an exploration of his relatives' wisdom as well as what talent he can add to his community. Wombat's family tree assignment turns sour when he realizes that every ancestor has a special something they are good at--everyone except him. He tries all the talents he's learned about from his family members, from music to carving to cooking, but nothing fits. Then, with a nudge to try again, the family tree branches out to grow into Wombat's very own something . Wombat and the Family Tree by Marietta Apollonio is for children aged 4 to 8 and features Join Wombat for an adventure in self-discovery as he answers these Where do I come from? What can I learn from people who have come before me? What are my special skills that I can contribute to my family and community?
