What it’s about: A little girl named Maple and the namesake tree that is her best friend.
What made me pick it up: I’m a lifelong maple tree and maple syrup fan so when I saw the name of this book I checked it out.
My favorite things: I love the depiction of Maple’s relationship with the tree. How it listens to her and doesn’t mind if she’s too energetic or loud. I really liked how she lays under the tree and watches the leaves rustle. It reminded me of many afternoons spent doing just that when I was little and made me want to go outside and do it again. But most of all I enjoyed the tiny surprise at the end.
Who it’s great for: Tree lovers. Rambunctious little ones and parents of them.
