Recorded in their rings is evidence of a changing planet. A volcano erupts in 2036 BC. In 775, a storm explodes on the sun. Lightning strikes in 1122. And during the 20th century, the temperature increases dramatically. Alexandra Siy's lyrical text, paired with Marlo Garnsworthy's meticulously researched mixed media paintings, reveals the life cycle of the mysterious and ancient bristlecone pine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree, downloadable activities designed to accompany the book are available on the publisher's website.
