Trevor is a lonely canary until he makes friends with a lemon on the tree outside his window. Eventually Trevor moves out of his cage into the great outdoors, and the lemon is his only friend. Together they sing duets (Trevor sings the notes, the lemon sings the silences) and keep each other company. When a crazy wind knocks the lemon from their shared nest one day, Trevor is devastated until he meets some new friends and realizes the lemon helped prepare him for this very moment.
This is such an endearing little story and one my kindergartner has quickly declared a favorite. The sweet message of friendship is relatable to nearly everyone and the simple illustrations are lovely. This is the sort of book I'll be sharing with multiple friends and one I think adults will especially love to share with their young readers.
