Critics Review
“Sweet debut… . Free-spirited, bracing sessions of solitary, outdoor fun… . Here’s a child’s world, where … private reverie recurs as an all-consuming pastime… . Maple, sweetly nondescript … could easily sit next to any young reader at preschool or day care. Leaf rubbings (from real maple leaves!) dazzle… . An arboreal homage perfect for children reveling in alone time or reeling with a new sibling’s arrival.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Readers will fall in love with Maple… . Lush, leafy illustrations… . This is a fresh addition to the standard new sibling fare, and young naturalists will identify with Maple’s adventurous and tender spirit.”—School Library Journal, starred review“The narrator’s voice … has its own distinctive, understated humor… . An exploration of different kinds of love and different kinds of acceptance.”—Publishers Weekly
