Under the Lilacs — E.B. Goodale

From Ezra Jack Keats Honor winner E. B. Goodale comes a celebration of nature, family, and building our own hands-on adventures -- perfect for any reader who has ever craved a bit of independence . . .

In this lush and playful picture book from E. B. Goodale, illustrator of Windows, Kate feels ignored by her mother and sister and so decides to run away. In a neighboring yard, she builds a fort and enjoys a sense of independence -- until she finds herself making room for her family in her new home . . . Under the Lilacs is the perfect celebration of striking out on your own -- while still making room for everyone.
