In words and images as lushly evocative as the story's setting, Jean Van Leeuwen creates this warm portrait of a pioneer family's struggles with the untamed Ohio wilderness. As they strive to carve a new life, they find that it is the bonds of faith, family, and courage that help sustain them in the tough, exhilarating new land. And as those trees that challenge and shelter them become cabin walls or lofts to sleep in, the thin shafts of sunlight that pierce the forest canopy begin to light a hope in the family as well. Little by little, a place of trees becomes a place that feels like home. The beloved and celebrated author of over thirty books, Jean Van Leeuwen's pioneer stories for Dial include A Fourth of July on the Plains, Going West, and Bound for Oregon. Phil Boatwright makes his picture book debut with Nothing Here But Trees. Jean Van Leeuwen lives in Chappaqua, New York. Phil Boatwright lives in Mesquite, Texas.
