The Life of Bud
This is the story of life and how important we all are and how hard it is to let go in the end. The story follows Bud, who starts out in life as a tiny bud—he feels insignificant. But Bud grows into a beautiful, vibrant leaf on the Mighty Oak Tree and becomes a very important part of the tree. Those who have looked for a children’s book that explains gently about the topic of life and death, look no further. The Life of Bud explains to children and reminds adults that death is an important part of life.
The Life of Bud is dedicated to my father Henry “Hank” Wintczak. My dad passed away in 2005 from colon cancer. After his death, I was having a hard time dealing with his loss. I had been working on a manuscript about a tree and a little leaf named Bud for a long time; but it never seemed to be going in the right direction. After my father passed away, I was having a really tough time. I sat down at the computer and The Life of Bud was born! The story teaches children the life cycle and also explains gently about death and how hard it is to let go when life ends.
