Dedicated to “newcomers and welcomers,” this novel for young readers features a red oak tree as narrator. When an immigrant family is threatened, Red the oak and Bongo the crow hatch a plan to foster respect and kindness among their human neighbors. (Miller Library Staff)
"A red oak tree and a crow help their human neighbors work out their differences"--
"Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood "wishtree"--People write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood. You might say that Red has seen it all. Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever"--
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up.
