Dear Acorn is a collection of letters revealing what "big" and "little" objects in our ecosystem might say to each other.  Oak tree writes to Acorn, and Acorn writes back.  Other conversations include Bubble and Sky, Cloud and Droplets, Pebble and River, Brick and School, Button and Coat, Toes and Child, and Sea Turtles and Ocean.

Dear Acorn is quite inventive.  I was amused in the insightful and clever poetic conversations. Sweets unique and colorful illustrations are delightful.
