Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisThe Education of Little Tree tells of a boy orphaned very young, who is adopted by his Cherokee grandmother and half-Cherokee grandfather in the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee during the Great Depression. "Little Tree" as his grandparents call him is shown how to hunt and survive in the mountains, to respect nature in the Cherokee Way, taking only what is needed, leaving the rest for nature to run its course. Little Tree also learns the often callous ways of white businessmen and tax collectors, and how Granpa, in hilarious vignettes, scares them away from his illegal attempts to enter the cash economy. Granma teaches Little Tree the joys of reading and education. But when Little Tree is taken away by whites for schooling, we learn of the cruelty meted out to Indian children in an attempt to assimilate them and of Little Tree's perception of the Anglo world and how it differs from the Cherokee Way.

The Education of Little Tree
A contested true story, TEOLT is nevertheless an account of the raising of orphaned Little Tree by his Cherokee grandparents. It is a well-written uplifting, moving and instructive telling of Native American culture and way of life. As told through the eyes of LT it is sad, wondering, incredibly accepting and very funny! Highly recommended. My nephew age 10, and I are reading it and discussing it via internet weekly. Enuff said!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Seeing the 1930's through a 6-yr old
I enjoyed this book so much. I think it is a fun read. Viewing everything through the mind of the main character is very enlightening. His views (learned from his grandparents) are right on. I think you will come to love him and his family as I did! I think this is a great book to be read out loud with someone you love.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
