A delightful picture story books for ages 6+ about a young girl who is gently, quiet, very shy and has a secret that she is scared to share with others. She doesn't quite fit in with the others in her class, but when she is at home it's completely different. She's a green thumb and grows the most amazing plants,

Her school friend Wynne Farthing is quite the opposite. He is outgoing, has loads of friends, he loves climbing trees especially reaching the high branches of the old and much loved tree in the school yard

One day there is a terrible storm and some of the branches of this tree break. As they arrive at school they find there are big notices next to the tree that climbing is no longer allowed - it's not safe anymore. Sapling Green comes to the rescue, she's brave and without giving spoilers, she suddenly finds herself no longer sitting o the sidelines, she included in everything. Sapling Green has saved the day and made so many happy again.

A charmingly illustrated book for children who are different or don't necessarily always fit in but find their way and acceptance from others.
