When Raven experiences the devastating loss of her beloved home, she embarks on a journey to find comfort for her grief. In the sanctuary of a dream, she follows a mysterious sound that leads her deep within to find the guidance she needs. There she hears the sound as a song, before realizing the tone is coming from her own heart. With inner guidance, she learns how to use her heartsong as a force of love for the regeneration of the forest. Through its call, she gathers other creatures from sea, sky, and land to come forth and help her restore its life.

The original art in this book reflects a love of drawing with color and light, the joy of creative experimentation, and a curiosity for the unknown that emerges from intertwining form and feeling together.
This book began as a poem and emerged later as a love letter to the future, responding to visceral experiences living and hiking in the Pacific Northwest; exploring the mountainous forests of Taiwan; and experiencing the living book of the Amazon forest in Brazil.
