Review Quotes:
Impressionistic illustrations beautifully reflect an evocative text. - Kirkus Reviews
New illustrations breathe freshness into this book originally published as The Dead Tree (Parents, 1972; o.p.). [The illustrations] promote a full understanding of the natural cycle of trees, ever changing, ever renewing. - School Library Journal
