The Young Healer / Frank N. McMillan III / 208 pages

"Close your eyes and look with your heart.  Often what you see with your eyes shut is what counts the most."  Sage advice from Lakota grandfather to Feather Frances Anderson.  Feather's younger brother, Peter, is seriously ill and in the hospital.  Grandfather returns early from a trip to collect Feather from school and take her on a quest in the tradition of the ancients.  Feather is surprised that the quest is to begin at FAO Schwartz.  This is an excellent, heart-warming, informative story filled with Lakota wisdom and beliefs.
