Summary
Autumn is painting the world in vibrant colors, and Isaac and Izzy want to give back to their favorite magical maple tree. A normal present won’t do, though. They want to give him the sweetest gift of all-a friend!
But are all the efforts of the kids and the animals who live near the tree enough to create a bit of magic…or will the Sugar Maple have to lend them a helpful branch once again?

My Kid Review
Isaac and Izzy are feeling sorry for their friend the magic maple tree. They try to think of ways to give their tree a tree friend. Angela Henderson teaches colors as well as some tree propagation facts in the text of Isaac and Izzy’s Magical Maples. Readers/listeners will also be reminded about the importance of friends.
Rachael Cumberland’s illustrations complement the text well. They are bright and colorful and give another opportunity for teaching/reinforcing color names.
Isaac and Izzy’s Magical Maples is a great read-aloud for preschoolers and early elementary children. It would make a good addition to the picture book section of a K-12 Christian school library.
I received a complimentary copy of Isaac and Izzy’s Magical Maples. This is my honest review.

About the Publisher – WhiteSpark Publishing
Founded in 2018, WhiteSpark began with one simple goal: to provide quality Christian books for young readers. After years of hearing authors and readers ask for just this, WhiteSpark’s parent company, WhiteFire Publishing, decided it was time to step out in faith and try to deliver!
When WhiteFire acquired Ashberry Lane in the spring of 2018, it was a true boon for WhiteSpark ~ Ashberry Lane already had a stellar roster of middle grade books whose authors were eager to move the titles under the WhiteSpark imprint.
Where will we go and grow? We can’t wait to discover that…and to help you foster in your children a love of books and the Lord.
