The Butternut Tree: A Children's Series is a collection of stories about two children,Maureen and Billy, and their humorous and character-building escapades.
Set in Ohio in the 1940s, these stories capture the quintessential American experience of life in a small midwestern town and the adventures of our two main characters still speak to children today.
A reading guide that extracts the teaching points of the stories and focuses on positive character traits has been prepared by consulting psychiatrist and author's son,
Daniel Jon Kostalnick, M.D. This reading guide is an excellent teacher and parent guide for use in small group discussion.
