Paper Chase

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

From bestselling author Julia Donaldson and the illustrator of The Christmas Pine, a new story of friendship, loss, and adventure connected by one very special tree.Under a tree, a boy with a book and girl with a paper plane meet and play over the course of a wonderful day. Then they are parted -- perhaps never to meet again. Soon their tree is felled and starts a new journey to become paper to make hundreds of different things... including a book for a girl and a notepad for a boy. Can a new paper plane find its way to reunite the friends again?Donaldson’s evocative and heartfelt rhyme are perfectly complemented by the warm and detailed artwork of Victoria Sandøy.
