The Little Hill is the story of one small hillside, reflecting the stories of many other hills and landscapes. It follows the theme of TreeSong, a tale of one great tree that also stands for every tree.

Each page of The Little Hill is illustrated with great care and fine detail. These images compel us to stop and ponder anew the intricacies of nature. The tale leads us to consider the changes inflicted on our natural world, their effect upon earth, and upon life itself.
 
The Little Hill, like TreeSong before it, is an expression of deep love for the land and serious concern for its well-being. Both of these books are tales which encourage us to watch for beauty, to pay attention to our environment, and to find ways of restoring some balance in our fragile and quickly changing world.
