description: Skin of the Oak is a brother / sister collaboration of exquisite artwork and inspired words. Skin of the Oak is a new book of poetry that explores the way of living in harmony with the natural order. With short poems that are both amusing and serious you can think about life and the "right way" (dao). Some of the poems are of a simple folkloric nature explaining natural phenomena. Each poem is spoken by a different animal and there are trails of animal tracks to lead you through the book. Reading through the book, one is reminded that there is more wisdom expressed in nature than is dreamt of in our philosophy. Every animal is lovingly illustrated with a black and white drawing of simple beauty and depth. This is a lovely book to read aloud and share with your children.
