SPARKLE

About the Book

There once was a little tree that lived on a special kind of farm called a “tree farm.” Different kinds of trees lived on this farm. The oak trees were the biggest, so the farmer called them the “mighty oaks.” The maple trees were also big and because they changed colors to beautiful yellows and reds in the fall, the farmer called them the “beautiful maples.”
