Sapling Green is a gentle, quiet girl with a secret she is scared
to show the world. Wynn Farthing is funny and noisy, and the best
at climbing high into the branches of the old schoolyard tree. One
terrible day, after a storm, the gardener says the tree has to come
down. Can Sapling use her secret to save the day? Sapling has
always kept her hands in her pockets at school to hide her big
secret - her green thumbs. But at home she flourishes, growing all
kinds of brilliant flowers, shrubs and bushes. When the schoolyard
tree is in danger, she has to show her special gift to her
classmates in order to save it. To her surprise, they are
delighted, particularly Wynn! It turns out Sapling's differences
are her strengths and through sharing them, she finds friendship
and acceptance. The Secret of Sapling Green is a story for quiet
children who are unsure of their place in their peer group, and the
boisterous kids who rule the playground. Its whimsical watercolour
illustrations will captivate young readers, and its story will
inspire them to be brave and accept themselves - and each other -
for who they are. Sapling's green thumbs are a subtle and relatable
metaphor for conditions which may make children feel like they are
different, such as Autism. Her bravery despite her difference is a
reminder that we should never feel like we have to hide who we are.
