    About The Searcher and Old Tree

    Beloved author-illustrator David McPhail crafts a simple, powerful allegory about the safety of home and the strength of unconditional love.

    After a long night of foraging, a tired raccoon returns home to sleep in Old Tree’s branches by the shore. Suddenly, a howling wind comes up! Waves smash! Thunderbolts crash! Danger after danger assails Old Tree; oblivious to the raging storm, the raccoon sleeps on, safely sheltered in its branches. Though all seems lost, Old Tree never gives up on the raccoon—and the raccoon never gives up on Old Tree. 

    This classic tale is sure to warm the heart.
