Maple & Willow Together
By Lori Nichols
(Nancy Paulsen Books, 2014)
Maple & Willow Together is the story of two sisters who did everything together. Maple and Willow even had their own language.
But alas, they did not always agree on the right way to do things. One day, the sisters got into a fight, disagreeing and acting out. They did not want to see each other again.
It only took a short while for the separated girls to decide that they did indeed want to spend all their time together again.
I love the names Maple and Willow. I love how the story allows the sisters to spend lots of free time playing outdoors. I think the illustrations are adorable.
Maple & Willow Together will help readers to see that it's okay to spend time together AND do different things.
KID KANDY:
Build a Fairy House
Materials: nature items such as pebbles, sticks, leaves, acorns, flowers, and pinecones
Find a spot where you want to build a fairy house. Use whatever you can find in your backyard (or park, forest, meadow, playground) to use as building materials. A fairy house can be flat on the ground or built up tall propped between rocks or tree branches. Maybe you want to build a fairy house in a hole or under a tree root or beneath a flower bush. Any place will be perfect for your fairy house.
Have fun!
Do you see any place to build a fairy house in the above pictures?
