Office of Archives and History, a division of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.<\/p>\n<p>Written and illustrated by Anne Marshall Runyon, <em>Longneedle<\/em> tells the life story of a longleaf pine in the longleaf pine savannas of the North Carolina Outer Coastal Plain. The remarkable, fire-dependent tree persists through 300 years of North Carolina history from 1696 to 1996, when hurricane Fran brings its tale to an end. But the tree\u2019s descendants live on!<\/p>\n<p>Runyon\u2019s illustrations peek into the hidden life of the forest and reveal how Longneedle is connected to a larger community of plants, wildlife, and fungi that depend on it. <em>Longneedle<\/em> is a story of survival and celebration that will charm and fascinate young readers and families, as it explains the connections between species in a unique and beautiful southeastern American forest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uncpress.org\/book\/9780865265004\/longneedle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more information from UNC Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Author Anne Runyon was born in Washington, D.C.
