Education of Little Tree By Forrest Carter. This story has entranced readers of all ages since it was first published more than twenty-five years ago. The Education of Little Tree tells of a boy orphaned very young, who is adopted by his Cherokee grandmother and half-Cherokee grandfather during the Great Depression. "Little Tree," as his grandparents call him, is shown how to hunt and survive in the mountains and to respect nature in the Cherokee Way--taking only what is needed, leaving the rest for nature to run its course.
