Emmy loves trees. She loves oak trees with acorns. She loves pine
trees with cones, and willow trees with swishy branches. But best of
all, Emmy loves the mimosa tree that grows in her grandmother s
pasture. Emmy swings on its branches, plays with its fuzzy pink
blossoms, and rattles its seedpods like maracas. But when Emmy
decides she wants a mimosa tree of her own for her birthday, she is
dismayed to find that many grown-ups do not share her enthusiasm.
Garden stores only sell ornamental trees like plum or pear or tulip
trees. Emmy is crushed until she discovers that the answer to her
problem is growing right before her eyes! This joyful story of a
spirited young girl s steadfast affection for a wild mimosa tree will
appeal to all who cherish a special dream, and will help readers
appreciate the natural world around them. Illustrator Tatjana
Mai-Wyss s whimsical watercolor and collage illustrations capture
Emmy s exuberant personality and the story s hopeful ending.
