Maple and Rosemary -- Alison James

<b>A touching story about a sugar maple tree who finds a lifelong friend when a young girl comes to seek comfort in its branches.</b> <p/>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. <p/>Through the seasons and across a lifetime, <i>Maple and Rosemary </i>tells a story of true friendship, one in which the experiences we share become a part of who we are. <p/>Alison James's 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, <i>The Camping Trip.</i><br><br><b>Author:</b> Alison James<br><b>Publisher:</b> Neal Porter Books<br><b>Published:</b> 02/28/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 48<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.30lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 11.02h x 9.13w x 0.47d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780823449675<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> 11/01/2022<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 12/05/2022<br><i>School Library Journal</i> 12/09/2022 pg. 1<br><i>Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks</i> 02/01/2023 - Book Of Special Distinction
