About this audiobook
Concrete Flowers: Lessons from the Wise Oak is a powerful prevention and awareness journey created for children, families, and educators. In the Concrete Garden, children become “Concrete Flowers,” learning from an ancient Wise Oak whose roots have witnessed generations grow. Through 20 imaginative lessons, young readers meet unforgettable characters representing influence, peer pressure, vaping and nicotine, alcohol, medicine, unknown substances, caffeine, food choices, social media, and more. Instead of fear or shame, the Wise Oak teaches children to pause, ask questions, recognize pressure, listen to their bodies, seek trusted adults, and protect their future. Written by Vernon Snell, Concrete Flowers transforms prevention education into storytelling—teaching one lasting lesson: Protect the roots. Protect the flower. Protect the next Garden.
