The Tin Forest

BY HELEN WARD, ILLUSTRATED BY WAYNE ANDERSON

Brief Description:
In the middle of a windswept wasteland full of discarded scrap metal and devastation lives a sad and lonely old man. In spite of his gloomy surroundings, he dreams every night of a lively forest full of trees, birds, and animals. When he finds a broken light fixture that looks like a flower, his imagination is sparked. He begins to build a tin forest, branch by branch, creature by creature. In time, real birds arrive, bearing seeds, and soon the artificial forest is taken over by living vines and animals until it looks just like the forest of the old man's dreams. This book conveys the important message that where there is imagination, there is hope.
