Even though it is a short, gnarled tree, the Jack Pine still stands tallin the forest world. It thrives in bad soil and is hardy enough to withstand wind and fire. Moreover, its scrubby branches shelter other trees, allowing them to grow. Jack Pine celebrates this tenacious tree through beautifully crafted text thats as hard and knotty as the tree itself. In telling Jack Pines story, the book shows how the great pine forests contributed to Americas growth as a nation. Cybele Youngs exquisite 3-D collages depict the trees, farmers, and animals that lived in the 19th-century forest.
