BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL, GIFT- OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Four friends discover a tree that continues to bring them together even as they grow up and away.
For people who have had these kinds of long-lasting friendships, I can see this is a very tender read that they will buy and gift to each other. It has a nice sense of community building and sweet illustrations. It just has a limited audience because these kinds of friendships are rare. There is one LGBT relationship pictured.
