In the Piney Woods

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kimberly Bulcken Root. In Ella and Grandpa's beloved pine barrens, the pinecones are "waiting" for fire to free their seeds and to clear room for the seeds to sprout. When Grandpa dies, Ella grieves but is heartened by the birth of her nephew and by the eventual growth of new trees following a fire. Unsentimental illustrations convey a loving family in this moving story about life, death, and rebirth.
