A touching story ,beautifully told about learning and living life on life's terms. The Mother Earth similes and sounds and smells of the mountains, made me feel as if I was walking the trails with Little Tree. I'm not sure the word â loveâ was written in the pages but it was palpably there in every description, step, and scene. Love for the gifts of nature and the gifts of family. Wise , loving Granma and Granpa took Little Tree into their hearts and their home ,teaching him compassion and understanding for all living things. His education was far beyond literature , reading and math. He was taught , by example, to listen to nature and his spirit to live in gratitude and beauty each day. The chapters were charming, inspirational stories filled with life lessons of survival and ingenuity! The characters were gritty and real and likable. I was moved to laughter and rolling off my cheeks tears. I was thoroughly engaged and entertained as if rocking on the cabin porch listening to a charming story teller. What a joy to read!
