NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Author Julie Ryan McGue, known for her acclaimed memoirs on family, identity, and belonging, is delighted to announce the release of her debut children’s picture book, Jack and Lulu Go to the Tree Farm, illustrated by Mariia Stepanova.
This tender, timeless story is part of the Let’s Go with Lulu Series and captures the quiet magic of trees, the legacy of family, and the seeds of dreams planted across generations.
About the Book
Jack and Lulu Go to the Tree Farm is a lyrical and heartfelt tale about a boy named Jack who visits Weatherwood Walnut Farm. His great-grandfather once dreamed of planting a walnut farm as a gift for future generations—a dream carried forward by his family. Now, Jack has the chance to choose a tree of his own.
When he discovers a small oak standing proud among the saplings, Jack feels an instant connection. With a tiny surprise nestled in its branches and the weight of a legacy that takes root in him, Jack learns that family love can grow and endure like the strongest of trees.
Perfect for readers who cherish Miss Rumphius and The Giving Tree, this story celebrates growth, remembrance, and belonging across family seasons.
