About the Book

In a treehouse by the sea, a grandfather shares the story of how he kept his dreams alive with thoughts of his future grandchild—who is his most precious dream of all.

Hope takes flight in this tender picture book by author Karina Iceberg (Aleut-Alutiiq), and illustrator Steph Littlebird (Kalapuya/Chinook), who share a story of Native resilience with a conversation between a grandparent and grandchild that soars into a message of love that spans generations—both those past and to come.
