Tree Root and River Rat is written by Faith Richardson, and is published by Fox Song Books. This is the true story of my life, the life of David Jonathan Yellowfeather, as I saw it and lived it, and the questions I asked along the way... It's the last day of summer vacation. David's having a wonderful day: swimming, hiking, spending every minute outside at the river and in the forest. Then evening comes, and his foster mom, Annie, gives him devastating news. David's backache is caused by advanced cancer; he has only months to live. But, David discovers that Life is much bigger than he could have imagined, as he is led into a mystical circle of trees where time is meaningless and illness is transformed. This is David's story of wrestling with relationships, spirituality, and identity. No doom and gloom here: only raw courage, deep laughter, and a tender well of joy filling, overflowing, and oozing out the pages, as David discovers treasure in what others have discarded. It is an young adult fiction for ages 14 and up, and is also appropriate for Grades 6-9.
