Sees Behind Trees
Michael Dorris
Paperback
(Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, Oct. 18, 1997)
Visually impaired Walnut cannot earn his adult name the same way other boys do, by hitting a target with a bow and arrow. With his highly developed other senses, however, he earns a new name: Sees Behind Trees. "Dorris takes on some meaty existential issues here; he does so with grace, bighearted empathy, and always with crystal-clear vision."--School Library Journal (starred review). A School Library Journal and Publishers Weekly Best Book of 1996.
