In the Woods
Signs on the Path
The language from before language
William Vincent Carleton
Before people had many words for God, they had signs: a bird where a bird does not usually sit, a leaf turned the wrong-beautiful way. This In the Woods book, from a Saturday walk in the cold, invites children to notice without panic and to ask simply: a breath, a question, a thank-you, then the ordinary day. A gentle book about attention, gratitude and ease.
