This book is a parable about an apple tree that is unable to grow apples and through careful grafting by the gardener grows apples from the other trees. It a beautiful and unique adoption story, different than any other we have. The story is longer than many picture books though, likely for 5+ crowd. My son enjoyed the story but didn't understand the meaning/symbolism. He was glad the gardener took very good care of the apple tree and that it was no longer sad :)

Books While We Wait - March 2014 edition
As you know, we are buying a new children's book each month while we wait. Since the original post has gotten rather long to keep reposting, I'm trying something different. I will still update the original list and have added a link near the header, but each month I will only post about the new book. If you want to see the entire list, please feel free to click on the link and review the other ones :)
