This is a special volume filled with inspirational stories and lyrical poems told in the tradition of Native American storytelling and parable. Teresa tsimmu Martino creates a delightful cast of characters who aid her search to find her place in the world. Everything in Martino’s universe is alive and vibrant, full of love and mischief, and tricks and lessons. Through her personal relationship to Nature, Martino brings to light our lost relationship to the land. For her, the world is full of people---Rock People, Grass People, Wind People---and the breath of these people is the spirit that animates the world. Martino writes with great humor and wonder at the daily adventure of living, and at the same time continues to search for clarity and the balance of Earth and Spirit.

Teresa tsimmu Martino lives on Vashon Island in the Pacific Northwest where she writes, trains horses, and is the director of Wolftown, a nonprofit organization founded by Martino that is dedicated to wolf and horse rescue. Martino founded the nonprofit organization, Wolftown, which is dedicated to horse and wolf rescue. The horses are rescued from abusive homes and situations, abandoned by previous owners, injured at the racetrack and ready to be sold overseas as horsemeat, and sometimes from the wild. Wolftown also works with young people, some facing their own personal crises, to teach them compassion and empathy while caring for the animals. Young people who volunteer at Wolftown witness, firsthand, how animals respond to love and compassion, and they, too, learn to love and be kind. Martino uses the balance and wisdom of the animals as well to teach the kids, who are healing from their own emotional injuries.
