Summary

In "The Tale of Curly-Tail," Laura Rountree Smith masterfully weaves a charming narrative that explores themes of identity, friendship, and self-acceptance through the whimsical adventures of its titular character, a spirited and uniquely charismatic animal. Smith employs a lyrical and engaging literary style, rich in vivid imagery and playful language, that captivates both young readers and adults alike. The book is set against a backdrop reminiscent of classic children's literature, yet it incorporates contemporary sensibilities that resonate with today'Äôs audiences, making it a delightful addition to the genre. Laura Rountree Smith, an accomplished author and educator, draws on her extensive background in childhood development and storytelling. Her passion for nurturing creativity in children, coupled with her own experiences growing up in a small town, informs the relatable journey of Curly-Tail as a quest for belonging and self-discovery. Smith's understanding of the formative power of narratives for young minds is evident in her ability to craft a story that is both entertaining and enlightening. I highly recommend "The Tale of Curly-Tail" to parents, educators, and anyone who cherishes heartwarming tales that stimulate imagination and foster empathy. This book is not merely a tale for children but a profound exploration of the importance of embracing one's uniqueness, making it a timeless classic that will resonate across generations.

    In this beautifully crafted novel, the first of the Annals of the Western Shore trilogy, Ursula K. Le Guin writes of the proud cruelty of power, of how hard it is to grow up, and of how much harder still it is to find, in the world's darkness, gifts of light. 
     
    Scattered among poor, desolate farms, the clans of the Uplands possess gifts.  
     
    Wondrous gifts: the ability—with a glance, a gesture, a word—to summon animals, bring forth fire, move the land. Fearsome gifts: They can twist a limb, chain a mind, inflict a wasting illness. 
     
    The Uplanders live in constant fear that one family might unleash its gift against another. Two young people, friends since childhood, decide not to use their gifts.  
     
    One, a girl, refuses to bring animals to their death in the hunt. The other, a boy, wears a blindfold lest his eyes and his anger kill. 
     
    "A brilliant exploration of the power and responsibility of gifts."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
