| Publisher Description: Beloved author-illustrator David McPhail crafts a simple, powerful allegory about the safety of home and the strength of unconditional love. After a long night of foraging, a tired raccoon returns home to sleep in Old Tree's branches by the shore. Suddenly, a howling wind comes up Waves smash Thunderbolts crash Danger after danger assails Old Tree; oblivious to the raging storm, the raccoon sleeps on, safely sheltered in its branches. Though all seems lost, Old Tree never gives up on the raccoon--and the raccoon never gives up on Old Tree. This classic tale is sure to warm the heart. |
