In the Time of Joy and Wonder
by Paul Schexnayder
In the Time of Joy and Wonder is the fantastical tale of a king, a Trojan horse, and a blue monkey and their exploration of a very small island with a mysteriously beached boat. In the middle of the boat's wreckage the explorers discover a young sapling. With much care, the three watch over and tend to the young sapling until it grows into a large and strong live oak tree. As with every living thing, all the tree needed was a little love and protection to grow into its mighty potential.
