Ellen Dee Davidson is author of The Miracle Tree, a bilingual illustrated children's book about a true story of climate resilience.( Ellen Dee Davidson)

The Miracle Forest is a true story of one man’s dream to revitalize a desert plain and grow a forest. And from that forest emerged a community that nurtured and expanded the forest, which evolved into a sustainable ecosystem with a local economy that supported the community. It’s a story of resilience, imagination, creativity and the profound impact of collective action. And best of all, it’s an illustrated storybook for children.

The author, Ellen Dee Davidson, joins the Exchange from her home in northern California.
