Beautifully crafted and illustrated, this is the tale of a young boy’s first adventure into the magical mountains of Appalachia on his own. Children will enjoy the suspense as they travel with Melvin to meet the Wee’uns, a band of small, friendly creatures who need him as much as he needs them. As the adventure continues, a simple but important message is understood—even though people may be different, they can still make good friends. Also available on cassette tape, the author’s storytelling and singing will surely make this a favorite book.
