Maple

I used to be a preschool teacher, so I've had my fair share of reading to children before I became a Mom & an Auntie. This is a beautiful story about family, love, preparing for a new baby, and the beauty of nature. The illustrations are warm and fitting for the story. I bought this as a gift for a new big sister, and I can't wait for her to receive it.

An adorable children's book, my son absolutely loved it as a toddler. Now buy a copy for every baby shower I attend.

I bought this book for my daughter and husband. It made the best pregnancy announcement and my daughter loves the idea of a girl and her tree. My husband was amused and bewildered by it til he got to the end where I hid the confirmation of pregnancy paper. It was so well done, we did it to several other family members lol! Here, read this delightf book to the toddler, she loves it and the artwork is simple but lovely, and Bam, guess what? Seriously though, the art is great, the message is sweet, the words and diction roll right along and it's a lovely book

As an early education teacher and collector of children's literature I highly reccomend this book! This is a sweet story that sets itself apart from the traditional "new baby joining the family" books. This will touch the heart of every naturalist! This is now going to be the book I buy for every Mom friend I know expecting a new baby, and will be treasured in my household!

Such a great book, wonderful message. My little sister turned 5 and this is her new favorite book! Can't wait till I get her the sequel: Willow!

This is my new favorite children’s book for ages 2-5. Beautiful illustrations. An easy to read aloud book about a young girl and her friendship with her tree and her relationship with her new baby sister.

What a sweet book. We bought this for our 2 year old son when we were expecting. He enjoyed the story connecting it with his mommy being pregnant and it helped him understand the next step of the arrival of a new sibling. He requested it often as a bedtime story and still does so from time to time now that his sister has arrived.

My three year old grandson who is about to be a big brother loves this book. It's beautifully illustrated and a lovely story about a new baby in the family.

I buy for my baby. It is very sweet book. Good for expecting another sister. But even if your not expecting, this is a good story about a girl named maple.

excellent book used in class

Liked this book.
