The Story of Opal: The Journal of an Understanding Heart
Opal Stanley Whiteley and Ellery Sedgwick
A small girl in an Oregon logging camp kept a diary in crayon, naming the trees her friends and the creek her confidant, writing with startling tenderness about every creature she met. Opal Whiteley's journal became a sensation and a puzzle. Whatever its origins, its wonder at the living world is real and disarming. Walk the road beyond the singing creek.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
