Nice Work

<b>A wise and tender story about the patience needed for a tree–and a friendship–to grow, from award-winning author Nicholas Day.</b><br><br>All he wanted was a peach tree: Because when you eat a ripe peach, you get sticky and sweet, and if you don’t wash up, you stay sticky and sweet. And you feel like summer.<br><br>But when the tree arrives in the spring, it isn’t a tree. It’s a stick. Nice work, the boy tells his parents. You bought a stick. Even his friend Maya agrees. It’s a stick.  <br><br>Though what happens when you plant a stick, and it grows leaves? What happens when your best friend moves away? What happens when everything that was once clear starts to change? <br>Here is a story of growth, the enduring power of friendship, the persistence of rabbits—and a single, glorious, impossible peach.
