Trevor

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Hevron. Lonely canary Trevor notices a plump canary (a lemon) on a branch. Trevor remains steadfast (read: clueless) throughout a one-sided friendship, sharing his coveted sunflower seed and building a nest to share. The seed sprouts a sunflower plant, which attracts real feathered friends. Pretty and bright, the acrylic-on-wood paintings enhance this compassionate story about a friend "who gave...everything and asked for nothing at all."
