I sing to my plants (I don't currently have a tree to sing to, sadly.) I also have spent more years than I care to count, encouraging children to sing. Sad how many think that it they don't sound like the singer on the radio they shouldn't sing. I really had to work at getting these young kids to open their mouths and sing with joy. So, yes, I could strongly relate to this book and it's author! Kudos to you Susan Hale! This was a wonderful story! I believe singing keeps the planet's spirit alive! Believe it or not, I think this book is good for all ages. Great fantasy book with even greater message!

I think that this book has taught me lots of singing and dancing around trees. I love to go to the forest and I now dance between the trees and sing special songs that I make up.
