In this third book (Maple; Maple & Willow Together), Maple starts "big-kid school," leaving little sister Willow lonely at home. After Maple carries on about kindergarten, Willow makes an unusual friend and brags right back. The resolution is childlike and tender--standard for this lovable duo. Nichols's pencil drawings with gauzy-soft digital coloring use full spreads and tidy vignettes to explore every feeling.
