Synopsis
A girl, a squirrel, a tree. An act of kindness and an unexpected gift. Eleanor learns that climbing a tree is not as easy as a squirrel makes it look. But she persists and finds a fascinating new world to explore. When her family moves away, Eleanor’s heart aches for her beloved tree, and she wonders if it misses her too. Returning for one last visit, Eleanor shows a small boy how to climb the tree, and her act of kindness leads to an unexpected gift. A heartwarming story of persistence, imagination, and inclusion.

From the Author
Hi Readers!
If you have spent a few moments exploring this page and got this far, thank you! The Climbing Tree is dedicated to my first granddaughter, the "real" Eleanor. Just as in the book, we must have passed the tree in her front yard a hundred times before realizing she was just tall enough to climb it--with a little help. It wasn't easy for her, but Eleanor is nothing if not persistent. Pretty soon, if the weather was halfway tolerable, she was racing home from school and climbing up her tree, where she would stay until her parents called her to dinner. It broke her heart to move away, and that became the basis for this story. I hope you read The Climbing Tree outside with or to someone you love very much, and then look around and notice something beautiful in nature you never saw before. -Barbara
About the Author
Born and raised in Virginia, Barbara Leary first started telling stories as a kid desperate for a little peace and quiet on long car trips with her parents and nine siblings. She works and writes from her 100-year-old farmhouse with views of the hills, four massive oak trees, and a small flock of doggish chickens.
The Climbing Tree is the first of her "Happy Happy After Story" collection. The others are Virginia Loves Dogs and the forthcoming Caroline and the Not-Mamma.
