Review:
Apple and Magnolia are trees and Britta believes that they are also best friends. This book is so warm, caring, and loving. When Magnolia starts to look a little rough Britta does everything she can to help connect the two friends . She is optimistic and full of love and friendship even when her family doesn't agree with her.
The story is vibrant and hopeful and it is what everyone needs right now. The images and illustrations throughout are beautiful and powerful in showing the connection, love, and care of these characters - people and trees alike.\
Overall, this was a beautiful story about love, friendship, care, and hope and I think every youth library would benefit from it.
