Dear Baobab (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781897187913)

Maiko has left his village in Africa far behind, moving to live with his aunt and uncle in North America. When he thinks of home he thinks of the large Baobab at the center of his old village. To ease his loneliness, Maiko adopts the little spruce tree in the front yard of his new home. When he learns that the spruce is in danger of being cut down, Maiko knows he can't let that happen. He knows all too well what it's like to be small, and feel planted in the wrong place.
