In a treehouse by the sea, a grandfather shares the story of how he kept his dreams alive with thoughts of his future grandchild--who is his most precious dream of all.
Hope takes flight in this tender picture book by author Karina Iceberg (Aleut-Alutiiq), and illustrator Steph Littlebird (Kalapuya/Chinook), who share a story of Native resilience with a conversation between a grandparent and grandchild that soars into a message of love that spans generations--both those past and to come.
