Overview
No matter how hard he tries, nearsighted Walnut just can't earn his adult name the way other boys do, by hitting a target with a bow and arrow. With his highly developed other senses, however, he shows he can "see what can't be seen" and earns a new name: Sees Behind Trees. But his special skill proves to be more important than he'd ever imagined when is invited to go on a journey to a mysterious land, a trek filled with unforeseen challenges and dangers.
Told with heart, this is a lyrical novel about an Indigenous boy searching for his place amongst his community.
"Set in 16th century America, this richly imagined and gorgeously written rite-of-passage story has the gravity of legend." —Booklist, starred
