Introduction

This book is about an Indian called Walnut. He had vision problems, and he needed to shoot moss out of the sky to get his new man name. Every morning he would go outside with his mother and try to hit the moss, but he always missed. So his mother made him describe the outside to her with his eyes closed, and he did a good job. He must find out how to use this talent.
