Being with him always makes the world seem right. And how vast that world is: a world of tall trees that reach for the clouds and sun and moon and stars -- and what else is reaching for heaven but a prayer? Each time he and Grandad walk in the woods, the boy listens for the prayers of the earth. And finally the boy asks: \"Are our prayers answered?\" One day, long after Grandad is gone, long after the boy is grown, he understands Grandad's reply: \"If we listen very closely, a prayer is often its own answer.\" Douglas Wood, author of \u003ci\u003eOld Turtle\u003c\/i\u003e, has written a wise and moving story for all ages, beautifully illustrated by the acclaimed P.J.
