Illustrated by
Julie Maren.
First an orange tree blossoms and is fertilized by bees. Then the fruit grows, nourished by soil, rain, and sun. Finally the oranges are picked and shipped across the country. This life cycle story ends sweetly with a boy sharing his orange with friends one cold January day. Swirling double-page acrylic paintings enhance and expand the spare, lyrical text.
