Codi and the Maple Tree

"Codi and The Maple Tree is the exact book I was looking for when my son started school- a book about the importance and sacredness of nature, what it means to be a true leader and how even heroes need to ask for help. The prose and illustrations work in a dance not found in most modern children's literature. This is a beautiful, soulful book that will uplift and inspire children and parents alike- a modern classic."

She's been published in The New York Times, Parenting, Good Housekeeping, Forbes, Tri-Quarterly and The Bangelore Review. Sara's first book, Bringing In Finn was nominated for Elle magazine book of the year.

"Codi and the Maple Tree is just what we need more of in children's literature... nature, wildlife and morals. The story of Codi stems from author Joseph Lauricella's involvement with a wolf refuge program. His authenticity shines through in his words and in the beautiful illustrations by Olga Pietraszek. A truly wonderful story for children... and adults."
