Hang on Adam Apple Cheryl Larcom

If you've ever noticed an apple dangling from a tree long past harvest time you may have passed it off as failure to launch. However Adam Apple is no failure. He wisely refuses to follow the instant gratification crowd. Hanging on year round he learns many things from the safety of his bough. He discovers spring time blossoms, nurtures baby apples and finds love. In the end he is most joyously rewarded for tenaciously hanging on. Kids and adults alike will never see a dorment apple tree the same. In fact since the printing of this story there have been many reports of Adam Apple sightings.
