Overview
A wise and tender story about the patience needed for a tree--and a friendship-- to grow, from award-winning author Nicholas Day. When it arrives in the spring, it isn't a peach tree. It's a stick. Nice work, the boy tells his parents. You bought a stick. Even his friend Maya agrees: definitely a stick. Soon, Maya is moving away, and the peach tree is still a stick. But with time and nurturing, the tree begins to grow and change through the seasons--and so does the boy. They are both stretching, roots reaching new places. And when someone moves into Maya's old house next door, there is finally a peach on the tree, and the opportunity for a new friendship. This is a poignant story of change, growth, and the enduring strength of friendship. (And peaches. Lots of peaches).
