A spectacular time-lapse portrait of humankind – and our impact
on the natural world – from a Caldecott Honor-winning master of
the wordless form. For his latest feat of visual storytelling, the
acclaimed creator of the Journey trilogy invents, in staggering
detail, a familiar world layered with imaginary civilizations.
Borrowing from multiple cultures and architectural styles to craft
astonishing new humanscapes, Aaron Becker tracks the evolution of
our species – and its toll on the Earth – through the fates of
a lone tree and an enduring river. River and tree bear silent
witness over time as people arrive to harness water, wind, and
animals; devise technology and transportation; redirect rivers; and
reshape the land. Timely and ultimately hopeful, this wordless epic
invites readers to pore over spreads densely packed with visual
drama. Fans of Journey, Quest, and Return will leap at a new chance
to uncover sophisticated layers of meaning, marvel at intricate
details – from holographic billboards to flying machines – and
see our precious shared world through fresh eyes.

Beneath the Twin Towers, a pear tree once stood. It still grows
there today. This is its story. One September day, the perfect blue
sky exploded. Dust billowed. Buildings crumbled. And underneath it
all, a tree sprouted green leaves in its distress. Pulled from the
wreckage, the tree saw many seasons pass as it slowly recovered far
away from home. Until one day, forever scarred and forever
stronger, it was replanted at the 9/11 Memorial. This story of the
real Survivor Tree uses nature's cycle of colors to reflect on the
hope and healing that come after a tragedy -- and assures readers
of their own remarkable resilience.
