It has it all

This story is spiritual with a dash of science. It has all that most are looking for: friendship, love, anger, greed, jealousy, distrust and more.

Kindred Spirit

I have never read Jacci Turner's work before. I'm glad I did. The way she described the wet, earthy smell of old growth forest made me feel like I was in it again. I live in the desert now, and my heart ached with her descriptions. Maybe I'm a singer, too, because I miss that connection on a spiritual level. If you like communing with forests, this book is for you. The narrator did a great job with the different voices and was an enjoyable listen.

What a wonderful book!

Listening to the adventures of Mayten and her companions, including trees, the stars, animals and a delightful mix of humans, my mind and heart keep returning to the rich interplay of characters and themes of this wonderful book. With Mayten, we explore complex relational dynamics between people, between science and other ways of knowing and relating, along with a rich exploration of how humans can live in sync with the natural world. A dynamic story which kept me eager to keep listening!

Tree singer is a top ten hit

Jacci has done it again with this compelling story that develops lovable characters that portray compassion, honesty, courage, and real life feelings. I looked forward to listen to the book each day and wanted more at the conclusion. The book could also promote discussion of current topics. Perfect for classrooms. The book is appropriate for all age levels. I know because I am a young thinking old lady.

Transported!

I so enjoyed being transported to this world. The author paints a beautiful picture and draws you into a world where the natural world is basked in and respected. I loved being part of this world and getting to know the main characters and the communities they inhabit. I could almost smell the forest and the trees. The narration is sensitive and easy on the ears. Very pleasant to listen to, which is really important in an audio book.
When I reached the end, I found myself wanting to know more about what happens to the characters and to stay in this world a little longer. Hoping this may be the first book in a series!
