The story: Red has lived in the neighborhood for a long time--like, 215 years. She runs a boarding house of sorts, and her tenants are skunks, opossums, and crows. Yep, Red is a tree--and she's seen a lot over the years...but nothing quite like the meanness Samar experiences when the Muslim girl moves in. Red usually makes it a habit to keep out of humans' business, but this time? She's just going to have to make an exception.

Liz's comments: I thought this one was lovely. However, since Samar is 10, and since the narrator is a tree, most MS kids aren't going to go for this. Just saying. Better for ES.
