About the Book

Little Kanga loves helping others.

So much so that she fills her pouch with everything someone might need. But carrying so much is making her tired.

When she visits a wise Cherry Tree beside Green Pond, Little Kanga begins a journey that will change the way she thinks about helping, loving, and caring for herself.

Filled with warmth, wisdom, and gentle magic, The Wisdom of Cherry Tree is a touching story about kindness, self-love, and learning that some things are simply not ours to carry.

About Suse Pettazzoni

Susan Pettazzoni is a Reiki Master Teacher, Integrated Energy Practitioner, Mindful Meditation Practitioner, and children’s author living in Massachusetts. For many years, she has guided and supported both adults and children to discover the power of mindfulness, meditation and inner peace through classes she created, developed, and taught. She also has led wellness seminars at her local library and been a recurring guest on the podcast Whispers of Calm. Her debut book, The Wisdom of Cherry Tree, is the first in a planned seven-book series set on the magical island of Taru. Inspired by nature, the colors of the rainbow, and the body’s energy systems, each story encourages children to overcome fear, believe in themselves, and discover the powerful gifts already within them. Suse’s dream is to one day share all seven Tree Wisdom books with the world. If even one child finds the courage to simply “BE,” she will know her heart’s calling has been answered. Through each story, she hopes children will discover they are sparks of something greater – full of wisdom, potential and purpose – and remember that this light already lives within them.

“My hope is that every child remembers the wisdom and light already living within them.”

Kind Words for Kanga

Endorsements are on their way. This section is ready for the first reader reviews.

As a grandmother of twin three-year-old girls, I’m always drawn to books that do more than entertain. I love stories that plant seeds of kindness, confidence, self-love, and emotional wisdom, the kinds of lessons children can carry with them for a lifetime.

The Wisdom of Cherry Tree is one of those books.
Through a beautiful and tender story, Suse Pettazzoni introduces children to something many of us spend years learning as adults: we don’t have to carry everything. We can care deeply for others without taking on their worries, fixing their problems, or losing ourselves in the process.
I especially love the message that we can hold space for someone with love, kindness, and encouragement while trusting them to discover their own way. What a powerful lesson to give a child early in life, and what a beautiful reminder for the grown-ups reading alongside them.
The best children’s books don’t just shape young minds. They remind all of us of truths we sometimes forget. The Wisdom of Cherry Tree opens the door to meaningful conversations about self-love, inner wisdom, emotional awareness, and trusting ourselves and one another.
These are conversations I want my granddaughters to grow up having, and truths I believe we are never too old to remember.
This is the kind of book that grows with you.

This is a gorgeous, tender, magical little book. I loved every page. Enjoy this gift, and share its wisdom with every young child—and every parent—you know.

A beautiful story for little hearts
