The art is fabulous and the story is a great way to introduce to kids the idea of being really super angry. How to be in and sort out angry feelings.
In the book, the girl gets mad at her sister and runs away to her safe spot, her familiar tree, and, clearly, her home-away-from home.
I love that she is free to run and that no one is chasing after her. No one is worried that she'll be abducted or hit by a car.
I kind of want to live where she lives and climb that old beech tree.
Here's my rendition of a climactic point in the book on our sidewalk.
