Song of the Trees
Overview & Summary
The Logan family, small Black landowners in Depression-era Mississippi, must find a way to stop a white lumberman from cutting down the ancient trees on their property -- trees whose "singing" holds deep meaning for the family -- without losing their land or their safety in the process. Mildred D. Taylor's novella is the earliest entry, chronologically and in publication, of her acclaimed Logan family saga.
