One day Red Knit Cap Girl and her friends discover a hollow tree in the middle of the forest. What can be done with one ordinary tree? "I will keep my book in this nook so everyone can read it," Red Knit Cap Girl says. And when the animals discover it, the tree soon becomes a favorite place to sit down and read.
Soon the animals are adding their own books to share — or contributing in other ways, like when Beaver gnaws a shelf or the sheep bring warm, cozy blankets. Soon they all realize that the tree is about far more than books: it's a welcoming space that everyone can enjoy. So the final touch is a special sign for the new library, a reminder that these books are for everyone to use. This new adventure with Red Knit Cap Girl and her friends uses simple prose and radiant illustrations to shine a light on the joy of reading and the importance of working together.
"Children will delight in pointing out the many little humorous touches, while parents and librarians will take a quiet and glorious pleasure in sharing a story about books and reading. There is nary a beep to be heard or a flashing to be seen in this loving ode to the printed page, reading and sharing stories." — Kirkus Reviews
