Mole loves her burrow near the pond. It’s safe and cozy underground, and best of all--it’s home. So when Fox says Mole has to move her home to make room for a new path, she must do some quick thinking--and digging--to save it. “Ehlert’s collages, inspired by the Woodland Indians’ traditional arts of ribbon appliqué and beadwork, are bold; graphically striking; and rich in form, shape, and color. Perfect for young children, this is an admirable marriage of text and art.”--School Library Journal

Lois Ehlert uses watercolor collage and pieces of actual seeds, fabric, wire, and roots in this innovative and rich introduction to the life of a tree.

A child watches her mother and father as they work with their hands, and she knows she wants to build and sew and garden and paint just like them. When they give her a special place to work, lots of good materials, and plenty of encouragement, she makes the most wonderful things! “It’s a work that looks simple, but encompasses at least as many grand notions as Ehlert’s first book, Growing Vegetable Soup.”--Kirkus Reviews
