The touching novel, which has entranced readers since it was first published in 1976, has since raised questions, many unanswered, about how this quaint and engaging tale of a young, orphaned boy could have been written by a man whose life was so overtly rooted in hatred. How can this story, now discovered to be fictitious, fill our hearts with so much emotion as we champion Little Tree’s childhood lessons and future successes? The Education of Little Tree tells with poignant grace the story of a boy who is adopted by his Cherokee grandmother and half-Cherokee grandfather in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee during the Great Depression. “Little Tree,” as his grandparents call him, is shown how to hunt and survive in the mountains and taught to respect nature in the Cherokee Way—taking only what is needed, leaving the rest for nature to run its course. Little Tree also learns the often callous ways of white businessmen, sharecroppers, Christians, and politicians. Each vignette, whether frightening, funny, heartwarming, or sad, teaches our protagonist about life, love, nature, work, friendship, and family. A classic of its era and an enduring book for all ages, The Education of Little Tree continues to share important lessons. Little Tree’s story allows us to reflect on the past and look toward the future. It offers us an opportunity to ask ourselves what we have learned and where it will take us. Review: Book you’ll love to gift to anyone. - I’ve given this book to many adults and each person was moved by the story and loved the read. Such a great book with authentic voice. It’s a forever book for anyone! Review: Great Story for Readers of All Ages! - I just finished reading “The Education of Little Tree” for the second time and I highly recommend it to people of all ages. Its charm lies in its point of view: an Indian boy sharing what he’s learned of the world around him through adventures with his Cherokee grandparents in the Tennessee mountains of Depression era America. We get the child’s impression of local characters, of bloviating politicians, of the illegal whiskey trade and of the casual prejudice of white people (which he often poignantly misinterprets). There are laugh-out-loud scenes, as when two bootleggers from the city undergo a hilarious hazing into the ways of the mountains. There are also tear-inducing scenes, as when Little Tree is taken from his grandparents by the heartless social work bureaucracy. Through all of Little Tree’s adventures, the reader learns along with him. It’s a fun, touching and memorable journey. “The Education of Little Tree” is a wonderful book to share with friends of all ages. I’ve made a point of giving it to friends who are not big readers because it is so easy to read, and Little Tree’s adventures immediately draw them into the story. It makes reading fun and also conveys many important lessons about people, life and the natural world we inhabit. I love this book, and the movie they made from it is also outstanding. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #133,723 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Teen & Young Adult 20th Century United States Historical Fiction #274 in Indigenous Fiction #1,119 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,034 Reviews | ## Images ![The Education of Little Tree - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bGYCy-w9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book you’ll love to gift to anyone. *by T***W on May 6, 2026* I’ve given this book to many adults and each person was moved by the story and loved the read.

It's narrated by a Native Indian (Cherokee) as a very young boy, growing up under the care of his grandparents. It's beautiful, the narrative is always touching, often brilliant, gorgeously descriptive, and it could actually bring most anybody to tears, not always of sorrow but tears of joy in places. Little Tree, the narrator, does his very best to tell the story, and does it very well despite his limited knowledge of grammar. However, being 1/4 Cherokee myself, I remember very clearly how my grandmother spoke at times and Little Tree pretty much nabbed it. I can't recommend this book enough. Any American who wants a close look at the lives and language and beauty of our own early Americans, the Cherokee and other tribes, should read this. Little Tree's expressions and descriptions are touching and adorable, you'll fall in love with him and I promise you, you'll never forget him and his grandmother and grandfather. Lots of accuratendian history in this book. all true, some very sad, i.e., descriptions of the Trail of Tears, which always grab me and don't let go for months afterward, if ever. Just a great, great novel of how our ancestors, Indian or not, lived back in the day. I love, love, love this entire book. I'll keep it forever. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Education of Little Tree - Watch for Me on the Mountain - Josey Wales: Two Westerns : Gone to Texas/The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8144745-the-education-of-little-tree](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8144745-the-education-of-little-tree) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
