Teeny Miss Maple, who lives in a maple tree, spends her summers gathering orphan seeds. Over the fall and winter months she takes care of them in her tree house and then disperses them in the spring. During their stay with her she educates them on their "job" so they are prepared once they leave her. The story line is a bit odd (in my opinion) but kids can learn about seed dispersal via a fantastical story/character.
I loved the illustrations-especially of Miss Maple's tree house and the full page of various seeds. Ms. Wheeler is a talented illustrator.
