So it is not surprising that she created the character of a tree with human-like thoughts and actions in The Silent Tree Remembers. She shares, ""How fun it is to imagine all the different personalities of trees in the woods!""As a teacher, Carol June Franks wanted to write in a way to engage her students in reading and to model what it means to be a writer.
