My search is for a children’s book, probably in the 1970-1997 time frame.\u00a0 The book was a time traveling mystery involving a shy, loner-type girl who escapes to sit in a nearby very old tree.\u00a0 On rare occasions, while in the tree, the girl time travels back to colonial times where she meets two girl friends in the tree.\u00a0 At this point, the tree is much younger.\u00a0 The colonial friends remark about the traveler’s shoes and how different they are.\u00a0 The shoes are modern sneakers.\u00a0 On a subsequent meet up, the time traveler brings an alphabet book which shows a picture of a giraffe listed for the letter “G.”\u00a0 The colonials have never seen a giraffe.\u00a0 At some point, the time traveling stops and the loner girl wonders what became of her colonial friends.\u00a0 On a library day, the loner looks up colonial samplers.\u00a0 She finds the sampler her colonial friends made when they couldn’t find her in the tree anymore.\u00a0 The antique sampler is of the alphabet with a giraffe for the “G” letter and a stitched picture of the modern girl with her sneakers!\u00a0 The title of this book is not known to me and i remember it had nothing to do with the possible subject matter of the book; therefore, not colonial samplers, mystery, time travel, etc.\u00a0 The author was a woman, but I don’t know the name.\u00a0 Please help locate the title and author of this book.\u00a0 I am sure my two grand daughters would love this book, which\u00a0 my daughter read years ago in Virginia.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
