What is a girl to do when her favorite branch on her favorite tree
breaks during a bad storm? In the aftermath of a storm, this spunky young girl
helps with the neighborhood cleanup, which includes her favorite branch. As she
laments the loss of her favorite place to play and imagine, she talks with her
woodworking neighbor. Together they hatch a plan for the broken limb.
Interesting illustration style and a great story. I love this book. As you read along you will take a trip from
tragedy to triumph through the eyes of a young girl and the loss of her beloved
tree branch. Engaging read aloud that
will have young readers guessing what idea she cooked up with her kind
neighbor.
EL (K-3), ESSENTIAL.
