Storytime #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"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.
Jo, a quiet kid with a love for comics, finds herself caught between loyalty and self-respect when a group of older teens mocks her for reading Major Impact. When they pressure her to join their crew and belittle her passion, she walks away—proving that heroism isn’t about the cape, but the choice to stay true to yourself.
In "Adeline Marie," a quiet moment of creation unfolds as a young artist loses herself in her sketchbook from her favorite tree branch. When her father, worried she’s too withdrawn, cuts the branch to pull her into the world outside, the simple act sets off a quiet ripple in their relationship.
In "Missing Faith," Armand finds himself drawn into a quiet, dreamlike moment when he imagines a girl named Faith—someone he’s never met but can’t stop thinking about. He helps a customer in his bookstore find a book by an author they both admire, unaware that the person he’s been longing for might be standing right in front of him.
