Gardens from the Sand, Dan Cavicchio

(Despite the jaded outlook of the cynical reviewer from Kirkus, which condemned this book with faint praise)....Garden from the Sand sings with the inspiring power of the Nature that lies inside of each one of us....if only we listen.A gentle and intriguing story for wise children, young adults, and adults who wish to remember the wisdom and innocence of their earliest relationships with Nature-- This is a story about trust...in the deeper powers of Life that run through all of us....and about Listening to the World as though your Life depended upon it.It does.It is a story about deep ecology---our relationship with the world, and how we change it, unwittingly, or with considered aaction.This book offers a fresh and simple tale of a child's learning to understand the natural world and his place in it, and of coming of age in a single parent family.....Clarion's search for his father, is a search for his roots..and his personal power. He finally finds himself in the relationship and stewardship of his environment and community. Urban children will understand the renewing cyle of growth, and the healing of relationships, even in the deserts of inner cities and suburbia. An important book for every child, especially important for any mother raising a child on her own.....and an encouraging gift book for anyone struggling with the growing cynicism of popular culture.
