Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Bowen’s moody, saturated illustrations of layered landscapes and historical journals add heft to the text’s implicit message that the natural world is something more than a measurable commodity."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"One of the pleasures of reading is finding out about a subject you’ve never heard of. Who knew there are forests in Minnesota untouched by loggers, trees that tower because they were overlooked by surveyors mapping out areas more than 200 years ago? You’ll learn the reasons why when you read “The Lost Forest” by Phyllis Root."—Newsbee

"The Lost Forest written by Phyllis Root and illustrated by Betsy Bowen tells with humor and fascinating descriptions, an important environmental story."—The Pirate Tree

"The powerhouse duo of Betsy Bowen and Phyllis Root team up again, writing about nature and science in a gorgeous and accessible way."—Star Tribune
