"Wood conveys a sense of something larger in the world, and gives
voice to the human longing to understand." - KIRKUS REVIEWS
(starred review)
Grandad is the boy's best friend. Being with him always makes the
world seem right. And how vast that world is: a world of tall trees
that reach for the clouds and sun and moon and stars - and what
else is reaching for heaven but a prayer? Each time he and Grandad
walk in the woods, the boy listens for the prayers of the earth.
And finally the boy asks: "Are our prayers answered?" One day, long
after Grandad is gone, long after the boy is grown, he understands
Grandad's reply: "If we listen very closely, a prayer is often its
own answer." Douglas Wood, author of OLD TURTLE, has written a wise
and moving story for all ages, beautifully illustrated by the
acclaimed P.J. Lynch.
