The Fairies of Nutfolk Wood by Barb Bentler Ulman

Mark Twain Nominee

In this intergenerational story (young and old unite), Willa with so many worries becomes a "soul sister" with Hazel an elderly neighbor. What they have in common--a glen with a stump. A stump that seems to provide it's own comforting magic. See how "Change is like a storm. It's all windy and upsetting, but the sun has to come out eventually."(beginning of the story)

Another favorite quote from the story (May is speaking to a nutfolk): "Act the way you want to be, and soon you''ll be the way you act." Really gives you something to think about.
