Loren Long – författare

In the middle of a little forest, there lives a Little Tree who loves his life and the splendid leaves that keep him cool in the heat of long summer days. Life is perfect just the way it is. Autumn arrives, and with it the cool winds that ruffle Little Tree's leaves. One by one the other trees drop their leaves, facing the cold of winter head on. But not Little Tree - he hugs his leaves as tightly as he can. Year after year Little Tree remains unchanged, despite words of encouragement from a squirrel, a fawn, and a fox, his leaves having long since turned brown and withered. As Little Tree sits in the shadow of the other trees, now grown sturdy and tall as though to touch the sun, he remembers when they were all the same size. And he knows he has an important decision to make. From #1 New York Times bestselling Loren Long comes a gorgeously-illustrated story that challenges each of us to have the courage to let go and to reach for the sun.

Otis and his farm friends love to play hide-and-seek, but when the newest addition to the farm - a bounding puppy who can't sit still and has a habit of licking faces - tries to hide one day, he finds his attention wandering along with his legs and soon he is lost in the forest. Night falls and Otis, knowing his new friend is afraid of the dark, also knows he must be terrified all alone in the woods. So, Otis, the friend you can always count on, sets out to find the frightened pup.

"New York Times"-bestselling Otis is back in a brand-new adventure in which he heads to the rescue as a tornado approaches the farm. Full color.
