Courage and Hard Work
January 10, 2022
This book is about a family that sold their potato farm and traveled to the redwood forest and started a new life. This book was so amazing and I love how they are all very courageous and hard working.

Lovely story about nature, family and bravery!
June 10, 2021
Such a great story about a family from Ireland and the trials and tribulations they have gone through trying to find a space of their own in the beautiful wilderness among the Redwoods. Strong family bond, love of nature and exploring, and bravery when dealing with living in the wild.
Perfect tree unit read aloud

My son and I both really loved this book. It went perfect with a unit on trees we were doing and the story was very engaging. My son related to the boy Mike and would talk about if he grew up in those times, he would be like Mike.
Great read aloud

I enjoyed this book as much as my kids! A great read aloud that will inspire the explorers heart in any who read it.
