From Ezra Jack Keats Honor winner E. B. Goodale comes a celebration of nature, family, and adventure. Perfect for any reader who has ever craved a bit of independence. In this lush and playful picture book, Kate feels ignored by her mother and sister and so decides to run away. In a neighboring yard, she builds a fort and enjoys a sense of independence — until she finds herself making room for her family in her new home. Under the Lilacs is the perfect celebration of striking out on your own — while still making room for everyone.
