Storytime #[nn]
"Pi Force" is a quietly powerful story from 2000, written and illustrated by Julie Larson, whose singular voice shines in this tender, character-driven tale. It follows a young artist lost in her own world, sketching from her favorite tree branch—until her father, worried for her, cuts it down in a moment of well-intentioned concern. The cover, by Mary Wilshire, captures the story’s delicate balance of solitude and connection.
