The Willowbee Tree
Graces
Little Ty is very silly during dinnertime grace and Clancy doesn't like it. When the two brothers go through the hole in the magical willow tree, they are transported to the highlands of Scotland, long ago — where nothing is attempted without a lovely prayer of honor. A Scottish hare, two badger brothers, and a red kite inspire the boys to remember the importance of saying thanks.
