Lennie and the Mighty Oak

From Anne Twist and Emily Sutton, the author and illustrator of Betty and the Mysterious Visitor, comes a heartwarming story celebrating family, friendship, and the joy of a new sibling.

Lennie loves his new baby sister, Ruby. He wants to play with her, but Mum says Ruby is still too small. And Mum is always taking care of Ruby, so she can't play either. Lennie wishes for a friend--someone to play hide-and-seek with, hide in giant piles of leaves with, and climb the trees with--or just someone who isn't so very little or so very busy. One day, under his favorite oak tree, his wish might just come true. This charming story will be a comfort and a joy to any child adjusting to a new sibling.
