| Description: |
This is a story of sibling jealousy and love told through two trees in a yard. A beloved magnolia tree stands in the center of the Soto family's life. They enjoy it so much that they decide to get another, a fig tree. So begins the resentment that is often common when another baby comes into a household. In time, the trees become the best of friends - and can't imagine what life would be like without the other. Author Lucia Sera has created a wonderful world in which the trees sort out their differences and grow to love each other. Illustrations by John enhance the magical feeling of this sensitive book. It is a beautiful tale in which all young brothers and sisters will recognize themselves.
