Following the events of a devastating forest fire, 'A Forest Begins Anew' is a scientifically accurate portrayal of how nature uses great loss to build a healthier and more vibrant future than before. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically written, this story serves as a great metaphor for anyone in need of some optimism without being too on the nose about it.""—Content Book Store, Northfield, MN ""A beautiful well-written rhyme that makes visualizing the rebirth of a forest come to life for young readers...
