Florence Parry Heide, who sadly passed away this year, is a celebrity in my town, especially at the library. Her foundation has created a plethora of children's events.
And her books are great. I don't appreciate children's books that exist just to make children feel better about something or other.
Treehorn is ignored by his parents. His books don't have happy endings. More like, real life endings.
I think the books are hysterical and weird and just wonderful.

Treehorn's Treasure by Florence Parry Heide is the second in the Treehorn trilogy. In this one, the tree in the backyard briefly grows paper money and Treehorn is able to use it to buy the comics collection he has been wanting.
This book works with the same practical magic logic as The Shrinking of Treehorn. Something Treehorn puts in the tree makes the tree grow the paper money. When he removes it, the tree stops.
Like Bedtime for Mommy by Amy Krause Rosenthal (review coming), the Treehorn books...more
