Shy and eccentric, Miss Twiggley draws negative attention from the townspeople. Although notorious for living in a tree, Miss Twiggley is also known for being a friend to bears, sleeping in her hat, letting her dog do the shopping, and other “disgraceful” things. However, when the town is flooded, it is Miss Twiggley’s generosity and kindness that win the attention of the town. What were once considered her eccentricities are quickly celebrated with gratitude. This story is sure to delight, with its rollicking rhymes, illustrations to match, and wonderful message of generosity and selflessness.
