Fighting for the Forest
A boy and his father like to hike in the ancient forest near their home. But one day they discover blue marks on many of the trees--the marks of loggers. The boy decides they must do something to try to save the forest. A campaign is launched and the fight is on.
Gloria and Ted Rand were inspired to create this book after hearing real-life stories from their son, Martin, who is an active conservationist in Washington State. Together, this author and illustrator team has captured the quiet majesty of our nation's ancient forests. Bordering the art are portraits of native plants and animals; a short nature guide at the end of the book supplies young naturalists with tips on identifying trees and animal tracks.

Gorgeous paintings of forest. Sad story of losing cherished land. The Rands tell stories from life, with all the messiness that entails. They are not in fashion these days judging by library circulation, which favors shorter, cheerier texts. But I'm glad to read them and share them with my children for all the experiences that life offers.
