Meet Maple who loves trees, nature, seasons, baby sisters.

Lori Nichols' enchanting debut features an irresistible, free-spirited, nature-loving little girl who greets the changing seasons and a new sibling with arms wide open.

When Maple is tiny, her parents plant a maple tree in her honor. She and her tree grow up together, and even though a tree doesn't always make an ideal playmate, it doesn't mind when Maple is in the mood to be loud-which is often. Then Maple becomes a big sister, and finds that babies have their loud days, too. Fortunately, Maple and her beloved tree know just what the baby needs.

Industry Reviews

* "Sweet debut. . . . Free-spirited, bracing sessions of solitary, outdoor fun. . . . Here's a child's world, where . . . private reverie recurs as an all-consuming pastime. . . . Maple, sweetly nondescript . . . could easily sit next to any young reader at preschool or day care. Leaf rubbings (from real maple leaves!) dazzle. . . . An arboreal homage perfect for children reveling in alone time or reeling with a new sibling's arrival."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Readers will fall in love with Maple. . . . Lush, leafy illustrations. . . . This is a fresh addition to the standard new sibling fare, and young naturalists will identify with Maple's adventurous and tender spirit."--School Library Journal, starred review

"The narrator's voice . . . has its own distinctive, understated humor. . . . An exploration of different kinds of love and different kinds of acceptance."--Publishers Weekly
