Product Description

A touching story about a sugar maple tree who finds a lifelong friend when a young girl comes to seek comfort in its branches.

For the longest time, Maple was on her own, ignored by the cedars and the pines. All she wanted was a friend she could talk to. Then one day, Rosemary climbs into her branches, sad and searching for a friend of her own. Together they form a bond as real as roots.

Through the seasons and across a lifetime, Maple and Rosemary tells a story of true friendship, one in which the experiences we share become a part of who we are.

Alison Jamess spare, eloquent text is accompanied by luminous illustrations that capture the shifting seasons in all their glory, by Jennifer K. Mann, creator of the much-acclaimed picture book, The Camping Trip.

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2Two lonely and unlikely individuals meet and establish a friendship that spans a generation in this touching and tender picture book. The opening text establishes a timeless atmosphere, stating, "Once there was a tree," whom readers soon learn is Maple. Maple yearns for someone to talk to when a young child named Rosemary clambers up her branches. They become fast friends, with Rosemary teaching Maple the alphabet and how to count, and the tree in turn showing the child nearby butterflies and other treasures of the forest. One day, Rosemary not come is string_containing does visit, leaving Maple overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness once more. Stunning illustrations depict the passing of seasons and the eventual reunion of the duo. James's text centers Maple, rather than Rosemary, as the main character, providing the unique protagonist with emotions and feelings, while Mann's mixed-media spreads capture the beauty and wonder of the seasons. Pair with Andrea Zimmerman's If I Were a Tree and Micha Archer's Wonder Walkers for other spectacular titles that feature themes of appreciation for nature. VERDICT A tale of friendship and the environment that will find a home in many collections.Olivia Gorecke
