Tamara Wolfe- Author

About

Imagine a children’s book filling your hearts and homes, and schools and libraries, with a story that celebrates the artistry, imagination, potential, and purpose of every child… Award-winning author Tamara S. Wolfe brings you The Sound in the Woods, the story of a young boy’s journey toward becoming a violin maker, alongside the guiding hands of his father.  

Enfolding every reader in an enchanting lyrical narrative nestled within the vibrant watercolor paintings of acclaimed artist Bradley H. Clark, this beautiful book will inspire children and adults alike to discover the artist within, believe in your dreams, deepen your connection with music and the natural world, and rejoice in the creation of a magical instrument. 

“The Sound in the Woods is a lovely and moving piece of writing… The sense of place, the woods, and the sense of time – summer, ground the story and make it an earthy experience. The father-child relationship is warmly satisfying. The subject matter is unique, introducing children to the art of making an instrument in a highly personal and accessible way.” — Judge, ‘Writer’s Day Contest,’ Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrations, Los Angeles
