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 James's spare, eloquent text is accompanied by luminous
illustrations that capture the shifting seasons in all their glory, by

Camping Trip.
