Did you know that oak trees live for hundreds of years—some more than 1,000— they’re home to hundreds of species. Its strength comes from its deep roots and, moreover, from the rich web of life it supports—and is supported by.

There’s a beautiful truth we can learn from trees: they grow, they thrive through connection. Giving. Taking. Sharing.

I felt compelled to write something new, something that’s rooted in my own childhood. It’s one that keeps resurfacing time and time again these days, as if it wanted me to share it. This story is one about friendship, old and new ones, of second chances and the healing power of a meaningful apology.

Coming this autumn, when the oak tree will be changing colours once again - A Tree for Everyone.

I can’t wait to share it with you.

We’re thrilled to announce that Kind Little Hands, the heartwarming children’s book celebrating empathy and kindness, is now available at all Antoine bookstore branches across Lebanon!
