realistic fiction.
Billy's mom's name is never told. She was always recognized as Mama.
"Where the Red Fern Grows" is told in the first person point of view, with the protagonist, Billy Colman, narrating the story. Billy recounts his experiences as a young boy growing up in the Ozarks and his deep bond with his two coonhound dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann.
Billy told the children that his mother was his teacher, and that he went to school at home. So he basically told him that he was homeschooled.
In the book "Where the Red Fern Grows," the boy's grandfather was supportive and encouraged him in pursuing his dream of owning coonhounds. He understood the boy's passion and helped him achieve his goal by providing guidance and advice.

Wilson Rawls was home-schooled and had a very poor education, therefore his spelling and grammar was terrible. But he loved to write. No one would publish his books due to the terrible spelling. He tore them all up before he got married, because he didn't want his new wife to see all his mistakes. Later he told his wife about his love of writing, and she encouraged him to re-write Where the Red Fern Grows. He did, and she helped him correct the spelling and grammar. It was published in 1961.
