Lori Nichols' enchanting debut features an irresistible, free-spirited,
nature-loving little girl who greets the changing seasons and a new
sibling with arms wide open.
When Maple is tiny, her parents plant a maple tree in her honor. She and
her tree grow up together, and even though a tree doesn't always make an
ideal playmate, it doesn't mind when Maple is in the mood to be
loud--which is often. Then Maple becomes a big sister, and finds that
babies have their loud days, too. Fortunately, Maple and her beloved
tree know just what the baby needs.
