The Music Tree is now out of print and rights have reverted to the author. Lots of people ask me where they can find The Music Tree...you might try here:

Liam loved to hit things in the garden with a stick. He hit the pot plants, he hit the barbeque, and he  hit the garden shed. When he hits the window his mother decides to take  action. She hangs an assortment of noisy items in their tree which Liam can hit to his heart’s content.

Then late one hot, sweltering night, the music tree calls to Liam…..

 This is a story for everyone who loves to hit things with sticks and make loud noises; who believes that  there is still sometimes magic in the world and that noises can sometimes  become music.
