This book came in through delivery, and the cover was so cute, I just had to flip through it. I'm glad I did, because it's very cute naturey, seasonal, big-sistery book that is sweet and short and perfect to slot into a lot of different themed storytimes.
Maple
Lori Nichols
ISBN: 9780399160851
An almost Precious Moments art-style with calm colors and minimalist backgrounds.
Maple is a sweet girl, and fairly happy with life, and especially happy with her tree - the Maple that was planted when she was born. It's her partner, her friend. She lends it her coat in winter, and plays in the shade in summer. She does wish she had a more active friend, and maple (the tree) does seem a bit lonely out there in the yard by herself. So Maple is surprised and delighted when a new tree starts sprouting next to maple, and Maple's mom gets pregnant, then delivers a baby sister! Maple and her new sister now both like to rest in maple's shade, waiting for W/willow to grow up enough to play.
Adorable, sweet, no conflict. Can't wait to use it. Would work well with On Meadowview Street, or with Kevin Henke's Chrysanthemum.
