    Foreword by Christopher P. Semtner - Curator, Poe Museum. 
    Seeing is believing. 
    Why couldn’t winter break be an actual break? 
    For weeks, my schedule’s been packed with emotionally and mentally draining events. Lenore’s birthday. Poe’s birthday. A visit to the Prophets for Disaster Mitigation Center. I’m exhausted! On top of that, I learned that modern prophets don’t work the way I had once thought, and the revelation has left me confused and full of spite. 
    Shouldn’t others’ tragedies be approached with empathy? Isn’t that what Poe deserved and what he would have wanted for us all?

    The middle-grade debut of star picture-book author and illustrator Danielle Daniel 
    Adventurous, trail-blazing Wolf lives in a northern mining town and spends her days exploring the mountains and wilderness with her three best friends Penny, Ann and Brandi. The girls’ secret refuge is their tree-house hideaway, Birchwood, Wolf’s favourite place on earth. When her beloved grandmother tells her that she is the great-granddaughter of a tree talker, Wolf knows that she is destined to protect the birch trees and wildlife that surround her. 
    But Wolf’s mother doesn’t understand this connection at all. Not only is she reluctant to engage with their family’s Indigenous roots, she seems suspiciously on the wrong side of the environmental protection efforts in their hometown. To make matters worse, she’s just started dating an annoying new boyfriend named Roger, whose motives—and construction company—seem equally suspect. 
    As summer arrives, so do bigger problems. Wolf and her friends discover orange plastic bands wrapped around the trees near their cherished hangout spot, and their once stable friendship seems on the verge of unravelling. Birchwood has given them so much—can they even stay together long enough to save this special place? 
    With gorgeous yet understated language, Danielle Daniel beautifully captures an urgent and aching time in a young person’s life. To read this astonishing middle-grade debut is to have your heart broken and then tenderly mended.
