A Tribute to Tulipia
Description:
A wild forest is no place for a pretty young orphaned tulip to live in. However, Tulipia didn’t have a choice; she is often despised and ridiculed. Was it fate or a blessing to be spared when her parents were plucked from the Jade Oasis?
One terrifying evening Tulipia’s future is jeopardized, and all the wisdom taught to her by her mother and father is tested. Will standing up to wickedness prove to Tulipia’s enemies what standing out truly means?
Years later, a wintry apocalypse strikes the Jade Oasis, now old and frail, Tulipia’s life is once again endangered. Barely surviving the thaw, her homeland is invaded by foreign foliage and shrubbery, threatening to change the rules and laws of unity set in place in the Oasis.
Things look hopeless for dear Tulipia who has spent her entire life standing up to bullying greenery until a new blossom arrives from a faraway land. Dissimilar in all respects, a friendship begins and then she and this new flower, Rishonich, fall in love. They bare a sprout, Nevanobry, and together raise their little seedling to be persistent and persevere for the common good of all.
Can Nevanobry continue honoring his parent’s mission to unite a diverse forest? Is he strong enough to stand up to those who are against him and preserve what had been established in the Jade Oasis?

Why the author wrote this book:
It started with a picture, a picture of a tulip standing tall and confident surrounded by tangled brush and shrubbery. The greenery in the background accenting its beautiful pink petals caught my eye while on a hike with my daughters. The sun poking through the trees cast a glow of holiness about her that no camera could ever capture. She reminded me of a female, I named her Tulipia. And so a story began to stir in my mind, one that cannot be ignored. I knew I had to write this down.
It had been a tough season of bullying incidents for both my girls, so I tried instructing my children about standing up for what’s right as well as doing the right thing for others. This sudden inspiration was God’s gift of another means of explanation.
