Description
An award-winning picture book about kindness, persistence, inclusion, and the joy of giving--that doesn't preach or talk down to kids.
Eleanor learns that climbing a tree is not as easy as a squirrel makes it look. But her curiosity is stronger than her frustration, and when she persists, she finds a fascinating new world to explore and the diverse inhabitants to share it with her. When her family moves away, Eleanor's heart aches for her beloved tree, and she wonders if it misses her too. Returning for one last visit, Eleanor shows a small boy how to climb the tree, and her act of kindness leads to an unexpected gift. First prize winner in the 2020 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards in the category of Early Readers / Children's Picture Books.

An award-winning children's book author, Barbara Leary writes about the weird and wonderful ways children experience the world. She works and writes from her 100-year-old farmhouse in Virginia with views of the hills, four massive oak trees, and a small flock of doggish chickens.
Barbara uses the magic of "once upon a time" to entertain her granddaughters, who inspired her first three children's books: Virginia Loves Dogs, Caroline and the Not-Mamma, and The Climbing Tree, which won first place in the Writer's Digest 2020 Self-Published Book Awards in the category of Early Readers / Children's Picture Books. She also writes creative nonfiction and the occasional short story. In 2018, she edited and published Backstage at The Lost Colony, a tribute to America's longest-running symphonic outdoor drama, written by Dwayne Walls, Jr. For more information: https://coquinakids.com.
