(4) K-3 Illustrated by Beatriz Vidal. Foreword by Robert Lewis. When Sparrow injures his wing and can't fly south for the winter, he asks trees for shelter, but only Pine offers his branches. In reward, the Creator grants Pine the gift of staying green while other trees must lose their leaves in winter. Though the pourquoi nature of this Native American folktale isn't quite fleshed out, the delicate illustrations of trees and birds are lovely.
