Heartbroken over the loss of her beloved grandmother, Tani, a
Native American girl of the Coast Salish people, remembers her
grandmother's parting advice to journey into the forest to search
for "the heart of all things." Not knowing if she will recognize
the answers she seeks, but certain she must abide by her
grandmother's wishes, Tani embarks on a quest through the wilds of
the Pacific Northwest; unexpectedly finding her way into a world of
Coast Salish legend, tradition and self-discovery. Struggling with
self-doubt, Tani is helped through the challenging terrain of her
homeland by the wise animals of the forest, such as Bear, Otter and
Salamander, the guiding spirit of her departed grandmother, and the
magical Stick Indian, whose presence on the shadowy fringes once
inspired fear in Tani. Through each new encounter with the animals
along the way, Tani moves closer to reaching her goal and revealing
the answers she has always carried within. With each step toward
discovering her special place and purpose in the world, Tani's
courage grows in the face of uncertainty; awakening her unique
gifts and the collective wisdom shared by her people through
generations. As her journey finds her standing on the shores of the
Pacific Ocean, Tani comes to learn that the heart of all things can
be found in the most unexpected places, from her front doorstep to
the distant ocean, with very little space between the questions and
the answers. Told in the style of traditional Native American
storytelling, this richly illustrated novella shares a subtle
environmental conservation message with the reader while exploring
the connections between self-confidence, self-reliance and the
strength that is found in trusting friendships. Tani's Search for
the Heart reminds us of our valuable connection to our ancestors
and the natural world; fostering a growing respect for the people,
lands and waters that sustain us all.
