Meet Oakie
Through an act of providence, Oakie the acorn is buried in an apple orchard by an eccentric adventurer, Otis the wild-eyed squirrel. Oakie finds himself in an unfamiliar world, wrestling with who he is and whether or not he should stay.
After a thrilling adventure exploring the world beyond the orchard, Oakie returns to an unexpected nemesis named Joshua, “the people”. When tragedy strikes, Oakie and Joshua must face their greatest losses and embark on the most crucial journey of their lives, changing their destiny forever.
Meet the Orchard
What do Joshua the imaginative boy, Otis the wild-eyed squirrel, Morgan the father tree, Houdini the fearless rabbit, Smokey the faithful raccoon, Duke the revolutionary ant, and Verstand the wise eagle owl have in common?
Like the relationships that cross each of our paths, these whimsical and uniquely different characters are vitally woven into the tapestry of who Oakie is truly made to be.
Rich in personality and differences, you’ll find yourself being moved by their stories as they become a part of yours.
What is the Message?
The Tree of Life is a hopeful, yet honest look at the journey of surrender, acceptance, and trust in the midst of facing grief and discovering who we’ve been created to be.
It’s an invitation for adults to return to the joys of imaginative innocence and a promise to children that everything they need to fulfill their dreams is within them.
