Albert's Tree

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-9688-7 $15.99
(3) K-3 When bear Albert's favorite tree starts crying loudly, other woodland animals try without success to help him cheer it up. Finally, Albert hugs the tree and discovers who's really crying: an owl who's afraid of a "big hairy monster," i.e., Albert. Having cleared up their comical misunderstanding, the two new friends enjoy the tree together. Childlike mixed-media illustrations complement the story's gentle humor.
