The story here, told across four pamphlets, unfolds slowly, the text spread out among pockets and flaps and small, attached booklets. Images of leaves and trees accumulate page by page, the message gathering in time: To raise an old growth forest takes the work of seven generations, one to plant the trees and six not to cut them down. The patience of refraining—a lesson for our age.
