With tragedy on the doorstep, he must make a difficult choice before time runs out.The Wisdom Tree is a richly illustrated fantasy story about courage, stewardship, friendship, sacrifice, reason, and the long work of becoming wise.This illustrated edition brings the forest, its ancient guardian, and the boy's journey to life through full-color artwork.
