MAPLE AND WILLOW TOGETHER

Book 2 after MAPLE, the enchanting picture book debut featuring Maple—a nature-loving little girl who greets the world, the seasons, and a new sibling with arms wide open.

A joyful tale of two imaginative sisters who are best friends, most of the time!

Maple and Willow do everything together. They love playing outside throughout the whole year, welcoming the sun, rain, leaves, and snow. But it’s not always sunshine and rainbows, because sometimes big sisters can be bossy—and sometimes little sisters can be frustrating—and even the best of friends need a break from each other . . . at least until they can no longer bear to be apart.

Maple & Willow Together celebrates imagina- tion and inventive play. It perfectly captures the dynamics of siblings and their ability to figure things out on their own and find a way to meet halfway.

Lori Nichols (www.lorinichols.com) spent her child- hood in northwestern Pennsylvania surrounded by maple trees. As she grew, so did her love of trees and nature. She now lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with her husband and three free-spirited daughters. Many days you can find Lori and her family looking for heart rocks, digging for worms or speaking in pig latin.
