Ellinor, in a thicket not too far below the great Pacific Northwest timberline, lived a small apple tree, a mere sapling. Her name was Abby. And so, this journey of bravery, blossoming, and overcoming begins... Abby Apple Tree is written in the style of children's books of long ago and at times uses larger words and adult grammar to get children engaged deeply, asking questions and learning- not only about language but about the processes of overcoming fear, challenge, and heartbreak as well.
