Maple by Lori Nichols

When Maple was just "a whisper", her parents planted a maple tree to honor her life.  Maple grew up loving to play around and under the tree.  When her a new addition enters the family, Maple introduces her sister to the maple tree.  Through the pictures, the reader can infer that the parents have planted a tree in honor of the baby sister-a willow.  The baby sister's name?  Willow!
Sweet, sweet illustrations.
**I would read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein after or before reading this title and make T-T connections.
