| Summary: | Told through lyrical rhyme and stunning 3D cut-paper illustrations, this is the captivating story of a forest's renewal as it goes from ashes to new growth in the aftermath of a sweeping forest fire. Set against the backdrop of a devastating forest fire, A Forest Begins Anew unfolds the life cycle of a particularly resilient ecosystem. As smoke jumpers leap from planes and pinecones eventually unseal from the heat of the fire, the story poetically weaves the effects of a forest fire into a vibrant tapestry that reveals a delicate balance between destruction and renewal. Back matter containing fascinating facts and further reading portrays forest fires not just as destructive forces but as catalysts for growth and rebirth. With its lyrical rhyming text and breathtaking illustrations, A Forest Begins Anew honors nature's ability to survive against the odds. |
