From Ezra Jack Keats Honor winner E. B. Goodale comes a celebration
of nature, family, and building our own hands-on adventures--perfect
for any reader who has ever craved a bit of independence . . .
In this lush and playful picture book from E. B. Goodale, illustrator of
Windows, Kate feels ignored by her mother and sister and so decides to
run away. In a neighboring yard, she builds a fort and enjoys a sense of
independence--until she finds herself making room for her family in her
new home . . . Under the Lilacs is the perfect celebration of striking
out on your own--while still making room for everyone.
