Evergreen

FROM SARAH:

Matthew Cordell’s signature illustrations bring this truly adorable story to life. This one is slightly longer than your average picture book, so it’s perfect for breaking into two read-aloud sessions or just right for kids who are ready to listen for longer periods of time.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Evergreen the squirrel is afraid of many things: thunder, hawks, and the dark paths of Buckthorn Forest. But when her mother tasks Evergreen with delivering soup to her sick Granny Oak, the little squirrel must face her fears and make the journey.

Along the way, Evergreen is met by other forest dwellers – some want to help her, but some want her mother’s delicious soup! It’s up to Evergreen to stay the course, and those who help her will surprise and delight young readers.
