The voice of the ancient Tillamook Forest, a verdant and peaceful ecosystem in coastal Oregon, tells of the forest life cycle, the creatures that live there, the time of the native people, the arrival of the Americans and Europeans, the work of the loggers, and the coming of the railroad. When the exploding orange blaze and deafening roar of wildfire threaten the forest, how will the terrified creatures survive? With compelling prose and art for all ages, this is a story of resilience and regeneration in the experience of a forest, one man, his cabin by the river, and the animals seeking refuge. The images are elaborate graphite drawings by author and illustrator Carrie Marie Larkin.
