OAK PARK, Ill. (MMD Newswire) February 11, 2010 -- Little Liza Freeze and the Magical Ice Cream Cone Tree an illustrated children's book by Barbara Walker, shares the story of Liza Freeze, a shy, young girl who wishes for a magical tree to help her make friends.

When Liza Freeze prepared to move to a new town, she expected one thing to remain exactly the same: that her shyness would prevent her from making any friends. But her new home, Chill Junction, turned out to be a magical place where wishes come true. Liza soon asks for a magical ice cream cone tree that will bring children together and help her make new friends. The tree appears and children flock to Liza's yard, excited to meet her and play in front of the colorful tree.

"Children should always know and believe that they can make a difference when it comes to making friends," Walker says. "The inspiration for this book was my niece and whimsical characters like the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz."

The book features full-color illustrations depicting Liza, the ice cream cone tree and all of the children who play around it. Intended to entertain and inspire, the book seeks to inform young readers about the power of imagination and the excitement of new beginnings.
