description: Visually impaired Walnut cannot earn his adult name the same way other boys do, by hitting a target with a bow and arrow. With his highly developed other senses, however, he earns a new name: Sees Behind Trees. "Dorris takes on some meaty existential issues here; he does so with grace, bighearted empathy, and always with crystal-clear vision".--"School Library Journal" (starred review). A "School Library Journal" and "Publishers Weekly" Best Book of 1996.
