Jack Pine

Jack Pine is an exquisite celebration of a tenacious tree.

In a poem as knotty and beautiful as the tree itself, Christopher Patton tells the story of one Jack Pine, and conveys the splendor of the pine forests that once covered much of eastern North America. Cybele Young's exquisite illustrations, ingenious three-dimensional collages of etched paper, bring to life Jack Pine and a world of stony fields, pine woods, farmers and forest animals.
