This book resembles a graphic novel, with boxed panels surrounding most of the images. Its story is simple, yet affecting. Lumberjacks are using chainsaws to chop down trees, much to the chagrin of the forest animals. Several are displaced before a woman rushes in and stops them. She marks some trees with an "x" and leaves others unmarked. After all of the marked trees are cleared, the lumberjacks, the lady, and people from the surrounding community plant tree seedlings so reforestation can occur.
This book is a part of a series called "sense mots," which means "without words." According to the publisher's website, each book in the series is meant to "offer little ones a chance to read before they know how to read" and "help them discover the pleasure of reading alone."
