After discovering a seed inside her apple, Maggie becomes really excited to plant it and watch it grow. Based on a true story, the relationship between Maggie and her grandma only grows stronger as they spend several years taking care of the apple tree. They often try to guess how big the tree will grow and how many apples they will get from it. Starting from a tiny seed to blossoming into a beautiful tree, they learn it takes a really long time for apples to grow. In the end they learn that life long memories far outweigh one bad misfortune.

About the Author

Nate Latendre

Nate Latendre is a children's book author, with The Apple Tree being the first book he has written and published. The Apple Tree is based on a true story and it's what inspired him to try writing. Not having prior writing experience or background in literature, pursuing the goal of becoming a published author took him far outside his comfort zone. While not an easy task to complete the book, he was up for the challenge and hopes to write and publish another children's book. He lives in Guelph, Ontario with his children. Fascinated by nature, you're likely to find him exploring the many parks and trails in and around the city. He also spends time taking care of his gardens. When he has free time he enjoys playing make believe and dressing up with his kids. Pretending to be a rock star or a wizard are his favourites!
