Emmy loves the mimosa tree in her grandmother's yard and asks for one for her birthday, only to find that stores do not sell wild trees.

From the publisher:
A spirited young girl struggles to get a much-loved mimosa tree for her birthday. A delightful, multigenerational story, ideal for Arbor Day and Earth Day "A spunky and independent heroine, a satisfying story and a gentle environmental message combine nicely here in an arboreal celebration that will delight many a young reader." ?Kirkus Reviews Emmy loves trees. She loves oak trees with acorns. She loves pine trees with cones, and willow trees with swishy branches. But best of all, Emmy loves the mimosa tree that grows in her grandmother's pasture. So when Emmy decides she wants a mimosa tree of her own for her birthday, she is dismayed to find that many garden stores only sell ornamental trees like plum or pear or tulip trees. Emmy is crushed?until she discovers that the answer to her problem is growing right before her eyes Mary Ann Rodman's joyful story--packed with environmental, independence, and problem-solving themes--will appeal to nature- and tree-lovers as well as those seeking great spring, Arbor Day, and Earth Day read-alouds. Illustrator Tatjana Mai-Wyss's whimsical watercolor and collage artwork captures Emmy's exuberant personality and the story's hopeful ending.
