From the publisher

Two titles from Barbara Bash’s highly acclaimed Tree Tales series are available for the first time in paperback! In a brilliant combination of lyrical prose and glowing watercolors, each book documents the lifecycle of the world’s great trees and reveals its importance to the many life forms that flourish beneath and within its welcoming branches. In Ancient Ones, Bash captures the ongoing drama not only of the Douglas fir but of the old-growth forest itself. The book beautifully affirms the concept of a cycle of life, wrote Publishers Weekly in a starred review. A wondrous walk trhough an old-growth forest, said School Library Journal, in another starred review. Reading Ancient Ones is the next best thing to being there.
