Storytelling has always been one of the ways communities preserve history, values, identity, and family memory.

Before stories were written down, they were carried from person to person and generation to generation through spoken tradition.

Guardians of the Grove builds on that idea by encouraging young readers to see themselves as keepers of meaningful stories. Keltie the Highland Coo brings Celtic heritage into that world, helping children explore belonging, family roots, courage, and the importance of knowing where we come from.
