The Jelly Bean Tree

by Toni Yuly, Toni Yuly (Illustrator)

Overview

Jelly Bean the giraffe loves her forest and her friends—even if she's too tall to play on the forest floor. She also loves napping with her head in the trees. But when Mama Bird decides Jelly Bean is the perfect place for her nest, the giraffe suddenly has a big responsibility as she waits for the baby birds to hatch. Can Jelly Bean be patient and still enough, day and night? Yes, with a little help from her friends.

Working with collage and torn tissue paper, Toni Yuly brings charm and humor to her bold, colorful artwork in this gentle story about friendship, The Jelly Bean Tree.

"Driven by endearing scenes of generosity—Jelly Bean’s friends take care of their friend while she’s occupied, and even after the chicks hatch they aren’t quite ready to leave their unconventional home—this story imparts a gentle message about being a good friend and looking out for one another." - Publishers Weekly
