Description: Book 1, "I Am A Tree Stump," tells the story of a stump that was once a magnificent tree but can no longer grow flowers or leaves. Feeling that it has become useless, the stump is surprised when a rabbit comes to play, using it as a spinning top board, and a squirrel uses it as a dining table. All the forest friends find wonderful ways to use the stump. In time, the stump discovers something only it can do, and finds happiness once again. This picture book comes from Miwa Nakaya, author of the bestselling "Black Crayon." Her work is beloved for its adorable characters that speak directly to young children, imaginative and charming stories, and the warm lessons and themes woven throughout. This new "Tree Stump" series continues that tradition, offering a heartfelt story with characters children will love.
