Bud

<p>As a young leaf unfolding on the branch of a mighty maple tree Bud may not have a lot of control over what is happening in the world around him but he can choose how he will view it. His enthusiastic approach with a clear sense of appreciation curiosity and joy allows him to experience life to the fullest. When things happen that he doesn't quite understand he chooses wonderment over despair trusting that everything will work out and wouldn't you know it it does! Little readers will love Bud's happy illustrations and thoughtful lines. Older readers will be touched by the story arc that gently reminds us that life is a journey.</p><p></p>
