Waterfall's Gift by Joanne Ryder

The insistent voice of the waterfall rings through the old north woods, beckoning a listening child back to the secret place she once shared with her grandfather. Its call mingles with the lively sounds of the forest - the birds and rustling leaves - in a reassuring blend of past and present, then and now.

In this lyrical tale, the young narrator visits the cabin that her grandfather built and rediscovers the familiar woodland haunts they used to explore together. Now that Grandpa's gone, she wanders alone, yet feels a comforting sense of oneness with the forest. There are berries to taste and smooth stones to skip across the water. And best of all, there's a surprise waiting for her in Grandpa's special pool at the foot of the waterfall.
