 Wink: The Ninja Who Wanted to be Noticed
The Busy Tree
JE WAR
A rhyming text that describes a tree's activities
from its roots to its branches, introduce young
readers to the amazing activities that go on in a
tree. Acorns nibbled by chipmunks, ants scurrying
across a trunk, a spider spinning a web, leaves
"breathing out air for all to breathe in"--everything
adds up to a "busy tree" for all to "come and see."
JE PHI
Little Wink, after being admitted to the
Summer Moon School for Young
Ninjas, finds that his constant need to be
noticed is decidedly at odds with the
ninja’s primary tenet of stealth.
Eventually, Wink finds that his acrobatic
skills and theatrical sensibility are a
perfect match to be a circus performer.
