    After his parents die, five-year-old Little Tree goes to live with his grandparents in their cabin deep in the Tennessee mountain hollows. Granpa instructs the boy in the ancient wisdom of “The Way” of honoring nature’s subtle balance. Even when he faces racism and the white authorities try to take him from his grandparents, Little Tree’s understanding and humor sustain him.

    Nancy says: "Comfort food"

    Any additional comments?

    I read this book for a book club and I was the only person who "read" it as an audio book. The narrator of this audio book does not fully capture the essence of the protagonist. I had a completely different image of the protagonist from the rest of my book club members. The narrator was too "proper" in his use of language and didn't read the book in the venacular which it was written.
