Christmas Picture Book Review: Maple and Willow's Christmas Tree

Named after trees, sisters Maple and Willow can't wait to have their first ever real Christmas tree. They cut it down and bring it inside. They couldn't be more excited to decorate it - until they realize that Maple is allergic to pine trees. Will Christmas be ruined?

My Thoughts: I adore this series. The sisters are charming and even though they fight a bit in this book (what sisters don't?), they come back together for a sweet ending. The pictures are amazingly fun. Just a wonderful Christmas story for readers of all ages.

Cover Thoughts: Charming

Library Recommendation: Highly Recommended for all school and public libraries.

Picture Book Review: Maple

When Maple is born, her parents plant her a tree. She loves her tree; they are good friends. When Maple has a new baby sister, she's not sure she want to share her tree. But she comes up with an idea to make everything just right.

My Thoughts: I love stories about sisters (I'm the youngest sister). This book was sweet and it tugged my heartstrings. I loved how Maple's parents planted her a tree, a wonderful thought. I loved how Maple loved her tree and how she shared that love with her sister. I loved the bonds between the sisters - always there but sometimes not always happy together. This book is perfect for girls about to become big sisters. Or perfect for just a sweet story.

Library Recommendation: Highly recommended for All public libraries.

Source: I randomly picked this up at my library and loved it. When I found out there were two other books, I immediately ordered them for my library. I can't wait to read them!
