He cannot see anything good about losing his leaves in the fall or the white blanket of snow filling the landscape, because it makes him shiver. Wise Mother Bird and others come into the picture and explain to him how valuable and special he is and that there is no need to complain. See if they are able to help Pout Tree to turn over a new leaf! Allow your child to join Pout Tree on a journey through every season. Meet an array of wonderful characters, such as: Rachael Rabbit, Holly Hopper, Miss Maggie Magnolia (picture to the left), and Piney Pine Tree. Children will enjoy the vivid colors illustrated in each season. Through this story, children can learn that they have a special place in this world, not to pout or compare themselves with others, and to begin to embrace the value of thankfulness! Towards the back of the book, there are bonus pages with questions and answers for parents, teachers, and counselors. These are designed to help maximize the impact of the book.
