Name of book: Man plants 1000s of tree seeds and eventually grows a forest. Wonderful wood carving prints?
Can some please tell me the name author of this book. I read it 20 years ago and can’t remember. I sure it’s a well know book and by a recognised author. Bugging me I can’t remember.
Was a small book – 30 odd pages only? The illustrations were wonderful.
Thanks
Helen
Could this be the book?

If so the woodcarving prints were done by Michael Mccurdy. Some of his works, including at least one from this book can be seen on the following site:-

If not it could possibly be one of the many Johnny Appleseed books.
