Diamond Willow


Helen Frost continues her exploration of story and poems in this tale from Alaska. Diamond Willow, better know as Willow, is adventurous and good with her father's sled dogs. The shape of the poems is a diamond with a bold short text similar to the real Diamond Willow's found in nature that is a broken or hurt willow branch that forms the diamond shape on the bark. Willow in immersed in her family and yet she discovers they have secrets too.

The story has adventure, friendship and the poems make it fascinating to follow in the storyline and poetry.
