This sweet little book has received four independent publishing awards, making its way onto the Eric Hoffer Grand Prize Short List, and winning a 2020 Eric Hoffer Book Award Honorable Mention for the children's category. It is also a First Horizon Award Finalist and a Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist for the young adult category. "Deep in the forest there stood an oak tree. And on one of its branches there hung a little acorn." So begins the acorn's journey through life. Along the way, it faces trauma, and experiences love, and loss. Ultimately, it learns to let go of the pain it experienced, accepting the world for what it is, and forgive. Not only does the acorn help itself, but it guides future generations, so they can manifest the greatness already within them.
"Author Corey Wolff has delivered a powerful allegory about growth, change, trauma, and independence in The Journey of an Acorn. This simple children's tale is a quick read, but its message of boldly forging your own way in the world, and helping others along the way, is timeless for readers of any age. Rich with evocative imagery, this is a charming and well-penned fable that can be read again and again."
