Overview

A Children's Book About Ecology, Regeneration, Resilience and the End of Life Willow lives on a little farm with her parents and her grandfather - ""Papa."" Every day, Willow and Papa walk through the woods behind their house, and Papa teaches Willow about the trees, the plants and the animals of the forest. One day, a windstorm comes to the forest, blowing over many of its trees. While at first Willow is distraught, Papa helps her understand the way that forests regenerate, and how the death of trees can be a beautiful and hopeful new beginning. As Willow grows up, the forest grows and changes, becoming habitat for new species of trees, plants and animals. One day, Papa passes away, and the lessons Willow has learned from the forest helps her better understand and cope with his passing. Willow and the Storm is a tender and beautiful story, meant to help children develop a better understanding of forest ecology as well as to improve their understanding of, and relationship to, the end of human life. It is filled with information and insight about natural history, ecology, wildlife and more, as well as wisdom about the dynamic nature of life. The story is accompanied by beautiful watercolor illustrations of trees, plants, animals, birds, mushrooms and more.
