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.
