THE GIRL IN THE TREE Squirlish, Book 1

This story, narrated by Potter and a full cast, is the first of a trilogy. A feral child named Cordelia is being raised in Central Park by a squirrel named Shakespeare. When Shakespeare (Dan Bostick) first discovers Cordelia (Ruby White) as a baby, he seeks advice from Miss Gertrude (Tamora Pierce) and decides to keep her. Things liven up when Cordelia finds a squirrel thief in their winter stash of butternuts. When Cordelia is "discovered" by gymnastics coach Ms. Bird (Carmen Vivano Crafts), she finds making human friends confusing. After Cordelia carelessly loses the nuts, all ends well when her first human friend, Isaac (Jojo Kendrick), returns them to her. A well-performed, upbeat tale for kids.
