She and her tree grow up together, and even though a tree doesn’t always make an ideal playmate, it doesn’t mind when Maple is in the mood to be loud—which is often. Then Maple becomes a big sister, and finds that babies have their loud days, too. Fortunately, Maple and her beloved tree know just what the baby needs.

Before a little girl named Maple was born (“When she was still a whisper”), her parents planted a maple tree in her honor. As Maple grows, so does her tree. She loves to play with her tree, or simply watch its leaves dance. But Maple sometimes wishes she had someone else to play with. One day she is surprised to find a new tree growing…and a new baby on the way! Maple is going to be a big sister! And she will share with her sibling the joys of trees.When I stumbled across this book at the store this week, I read it and had to buy it. I loved this story of the friendship between a girl and her tree. The pictures are cute and warm and green and show the joys of being outside. I especially like the illustrations of Maple lying under the tree, looking up through the green leaves. I thought the author was very creative to use the growing of a new tree as a symbol for an upcoming birth. This book takes the usual new sibling story and gives it a wonderful, leaf-twirling spin. Maple will make you smile and want to take her home with you, too.
This is a very cute book. The illustrations are simple but detailed and very pleasant to look at. This is a perfect book for my 6 year old daughter who is learning to read. This would be perfect for any little girl or boy who is expecting to be a big sibling.
What a cute story! My boys, 5 & 4, love to be read to and enjoyed this story so much. My five year old wanted to help me read and this book is really great for his reading level. The illustrations are adorable. Highly recommended, especially for those parents trying to prepare a little one for a new brother or sister.
This review is from: Maple (Hardcover)The first line of the book is "Maple loved her name" and every time my daughter shouts out "I love my name too!". It's pretty adorable.When we go outside my daughter tries to re-enact the book by putting a coat on the trees outside. She thinks it's hysterical. (So do I.) She also is enjoying seeing the leaves on the trees grow from buds this Spring. This is the first year she's been old enough to appreciate that process, and she talks about how it's just like the leaves in the Maple book.All in all, if you want a nice sweet book to read to your kids about trees, it's a huge hit!But it's also got a deeper message about welcoming a new baby into the family. My wife and I have used this book to talk to our daughter about becoming a big sister and how that will be a wonderful experience for her. It's been great for that too.
Sweet story. Fun Illustrations. Even better than I expected! Great gift for my granddaughter who has a sibling on the way! Sweet simple story, especially promoting children loving nature and feeling good about their own identity too.
My daughter loved this book!!!! Her daughters name is Maple and they love reading it together. She had even planned on naming her next child Willow if a girl.
MAPLE is a super sweet picture book about a curious and fun-loving girl who plays by a maple tree planted by her parents that grows alongside her. Maple is comforted and buoyed by her namesake tree and finds it especially helpful when a little sister comes into the picture.The illustrations are as lovely as the story, including a simple, evocative line work, beautiful stamped leaf textures, and a very pleasing palette. This book is perfect for any nature lovers, families about to add a new sibling, or any child curious about the world around her.
This is a sweet story of a little girl that in honor of her impending birth, her parents planted a maple tree in their backyard. Because it just seemed right, the little girl was named Maple and the two began to grow up together.This little tree became her friend, they entertained each other and sometimes, the tree would dance just for her.As time passed, a new little tree appeared; just about the same time, that Maple’s mother announced that Maple would become a big sister. Little Maple tried to be the best big sister that she could, she shared her toys and entertained her little sister. Sometimes, it is hard to give everything to a baby that they think they need. On those days, it is best to just sit under a tree and look up to see what the tree has in store for you.Gorgeous illustrations enhance this simple story of happiness and positivity that are so necessary to young children. This book is a shelf keeper that will one day have your young ones asking for their own adventures under their very own tree.A follow up to this books - Maple and Willow Together and Maple and Willow Apart
