With summer painting the world in vibrant colors, Isaac decides it’s time for some special fun with his favorite Sugar Maple. But his plans for a tree house turn out to be a spectacular…failure. And the animals who call the tree home are in a tizzy over it too.
Isaac doesn’t understand why his tree isn’t providing some of its magic…until it delivers the most magical help of all: a new friend!
This whimsical tale of delight, discovery, and new friendships is as sweet as iced donuts and will bring even more joy.

Faye Myrtle Christiansen –
As a retired 2nd grade teacher, I enjoyed reading the story of the magic Sugar Maple. The children I’ve read it to and neighbors I have shared it with enjoy it, too. The story is intriguing and the illustrations depict it in a fun, colorful and imaginative way. I am enticed by all the little creatures the illustrator has half hidden on each page.
