Illustrated by
Cyd Moore.
When Willow and her family move to a new neighborhood, she involves everyone--including reclusive Mr. Larch--in gardening activities and the school charity drive. As spring and summer pass, the neighbors are asked to help Willow, who's "in need of snow!" Larch's turnaround strains credulity in this second feel-good story starring Willow. Detailed illustrations extend the text.
