Addiction is a problem for many families. Using fairy tale imagery and allegory, authors David & Andrew Kempf explore this critical issue in a way that children ages eight to twelve can understand. The raccoon family knows that father has a problem. So do all of the animal neighbors in the forest. Only by going on a spiritual journey to a sacred tree to meet a mysterious bear can the poor raccoon father overcome his troubles. If he chooses to accept the gift of recovery, this will be the most important day of his life. With beautiful illustrations by artist Mel Hohn, The Wisdom Tree offers a solution to a serious problem in a fun and entertaining way.
