A tree can be a home and a forest can be a school, but raised in the wilds of 90's Portland, Vin must first learn to be a child. A transformative story about the search for shelter and the power of being seen. OUTDOOR SCHOOL is the story of a boy without a home and the forest that gave him one. It's about a Black family finding resilience in a city that looks the other way. As a boy growing up in 1990s Portland, Vin spent nights sleeping under a tree with his mother and sister, navigating abuse, racial hostility, and systemic neglect. When a school trip to the forest offers him clean meals, safety, and a rare glimpse of acceptance,Vin begins to understand what it means to be both a child and a man-and how nature can offer not just refuge, but revelation. —Ime Etuk
