With summer warming the world, Isaac decides it’s time a new adventure with his favorite Sugar Maple. But his plans for a treehouse turn out to be a spectacular…failure. And the animals who call the tree home are in a tizzy over it too. Isaac doesn’t understand why his tree isn’t making some of its magic…until it delivers the most magical help of all— a new friend!
This whimsical tale of delight, discovery, and unexpected friendships is as sweet as sprinkled donuts and will bring you back for another season’s adventures.
Stories play a powerful role in helping children develop social and emotional skills. Watching Isaac as he progresses from the excitement of an initial idea for a tree house through disappointing results to a successful outcome offers young readers a model of resilience and resourcefulness.
We can’t protect children from disappointment. We can help them see that adversity can be worked through … with a little help from your friends!
This is the perfect book to get your kids outside and into nature to explore and create their own kind of happiness through the beauty of the nature that surrounds them.
