Dear Baobab

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Qin Leng. After his parents' death, Maiko moves from Africa to North America to live with his aunt and uncle. He misses his baobab tree but finds solace in a small spruce growing (too) close to his relatives' home. When his uncle decides to cut it down, Maiko runs away. The story is wordy but heartfelt. Expressive, uncluttered illustrations help convey emotion.
