“The Boy in the Basement Woods”
When a young boy is led away from home by the one person he longs to trust, his world is turned upside down. Left in a cold, shadowy basement with only his fear for company, he learns what it means to feel invisible, unwanted, and forgotten. But in the quiet darkness, he also discovers something he didn’t expect—resilience.
Rooted in raw emotion and drawn from the real experiences that inspired the poem of the same name, The Boy in the Basement Woods is more than a story—it’s a lifeline for any child who has ever felt lost or abandoned. Guided by love, faith, and the steadfast arms of a grandmother who refuses to let go, this tale shows young readers that even in the darkest places, light can break through.
Perfect for parents, educators, counselors, and children alike, this book opens the door to conversations about trauma, healing, and the hope that never stops reaching for us—even when we can’t see it.
A moving debut from C.R. Bambara, The Boy in the Basement Woods reminds us all:
You are not alone. And morning always comes.
