Maple and Rosemary
For the longest time, Maple was on her own, ignored by the cedars and the pines. All she wanted was a friend she could talk to. Then one day, Rosemary climbs into her branches, sad and searching for a friend of her own. Together they form a bond as real as roots.
Through the seasons and across a lifetime, Maple and Rosemary tells a story of true friendship, one in which the experiences we share become a part of who we are.
Alison James's spare, eloquent text is accompanied by luminous illustrations that capture the shifting seasons in all their glory, by Jennifer K. Mann, creator of the much-acclaimed picture book, The Camping Trip.

Praise for this book
"With touching emotional authenticity, Maple & Rosemary explores the bonds of friendship and the promises it entails. . . . This tender story is essential reading for tree-whisperers everywhere."--BookPage
"Emotionally honest and visually aware of life's seasons, this book acknowledges that cherished bonds don't always follow a simple script."--Publishers Weekly
"Stunning illustrations depict the passing of seasons and the eventual reunion of the duo. James's text centers Maple, rather than Rosemary, as the main character, providing the unique protagonist with emotions and feelings, while Mann's mixed-media spreads capture the beauty and wonder of the seasons. . . . A tale of friendship and the environment that will find a home in many collections."--School Library Journal
"A sweet story of friendship. . . ."--Kirkus Reviews
