Cathryn Falwell Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Best Children's Books of the Year, Bank Street College of Education. A shy young African American boy makes frien ds in school by letting his classmates help with his drawing of a bare winter tree. One winter day David sees a beautiful bare tree. As soon as he gets to school, this shy young boy who loves to draw begins a beautiful picture of the tree he has seen. One by one his classmates come by with suggestions for the drawing, but the fun really starts when they all join David to add grass, stickers, clouds, a rainbow, and other imaginative details to the picture. And as the drawing develops, David overcomes his shyness and finds a way to make new friends. Show more
