(2) K-3 Illustrated by Hadley Hooper. Lulu loves to climb trees. When she gets sick and is confined to her room, her longing is palpable. When she finally turns away from her window, she sees the shadow of her favorite tree on her bedroom wall--and knows just what to do (hint: it involves imagination). Lulu's passionate love for trees jumps off the pages through Scanlon's warm words and Hooper's simple but lush illustrations.
