A Tree for Emmy

Nicely illustrated. Easy to follow and understand. Short enough to keep attention of little ones.

One of our favorite books! Touching that the little girl wants a tree and not a throw away toy and that she also has to learn patience of how long things take to grow. I also like that the tree is appreciated even though it isn't a typically desired for tree. I appreciate the touch of mixed media in the illustrations too. My own daughter (4), also a bit "stubborn and wild" has now asked for a tree for her birthday.

My grand daughter Emmy love it

My grandson borrowed this book from the library and liked it so much that I bought him his own copy. He thinks mimosa trees arereally beautiful and wants to plant one of this own. It kind of gets him into wanting to care for his own tree and take care of nature.

If you know how lovely Mimosa trees smell, this is a book for you. I bought this book for my granddaughter. It is a must-have to add to your collection of children's books.

It reminds me of my childhood. When I lived in Brooklyn as child with my family my grandmother, she had a mimosa tree in the front on her unit. It is fun read for children and adults.

This sweet book is part book about trees and part book about a stubborn, spunky girl. Emmy falls in love with the mimosa tree at her grandmother’s house but when she tries to buy one she’s told they don’t sell them in garden stores. The mimosa is compared to flowers like dandelions that only grow in the wild.I love that Emmy is portrayed as a real kid with big emotions but that she also overcomes her frustrations and solves her own problems.Soft illustrations that evoke a sense of springtime make this a lovely well rounded book. A great read aloud for spring time.In the world of children’s books there are many that talk about plants and things growing in spring time, but these so often focus on flowers or vegetables. Add this one to your spring repertoire to round out your collection.*I received a copy to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Bought this as a gift. They really loved it.
