Little Acorn couldn't believe he would ever be a big, strong oak tree, but the transformation began when he dropped from his branch right into a passing truck. From there, he rolled to a stop and soon grew into Little Oak. But now what was he to do? He couldn't grow oranges like the orange tree or flowers like the rose bush. He just grew and grew until he became Big Oak, and his branches were big and strong-but still he didn't know what he was to do. Then one day Big Oak found that his strong branches were just right for a very special purpose. The Oak Inside the Acorn is the story of the miracle inside each of us. For within every child is the special person God created, just waiting to grow.

"I learned from the shadow of a tree, that to and fro did sway against a wall:
our shadow-selves, our influence, may fall where we ourselves can never be.
