Reviews
"★ ""A deeply felt portrait of nature. . .""—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"
"★ ""A magnificently executed story.""—Shelf Awareness, Starred Review ★ ""Sudyka’s atmospheric gouache watercolors capture the stunning beauty of the enormous glacier. . . . A lovingly rendered natural picture-book wonder.""—Booklist, Starred Review ★ ""A deeply felt portrait of nature. . .""—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review ""Sudyka’s contrasting, often translucent watercolors balance the cool swaths of blues and greens across the face of the glacier with lines etched across its frozen surface. . . . Scott’s narrative uncovers the healing, centering power of nature and reciprocity of care between humankind and the natural world.""—The Horn Book ""A warmhearted ode to the colder side of the natural world."" —BookPage ""A gentle story about how a bond with nature can transform one’s life; it may inspire readers to engage with their own surroundings.""—Kirkus Reviews ""Sudyka’s watercolor and gouache illustrations easily convey an appreciation for the emotional qualities of the natural world, a feeling echoed by Scott’s sensitive and evocative prose.""—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books"
Author Information
Jordan Scott is a poet whose work includes Silt, Blert, DECOMP, and Night & Ox. Blert, which explores the poetics of stuttering, is the subject of two National Film Board of Canada projects, Flub and Utter- a poetic memoir of the mouth and STUTTER. He is the author of the widely-lauded I Talk Like a River, which won the Schneider Family and Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards and has been translated into numerous languages, and My Baba's Garden. He lives in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island with his wife and two sons. Diana Sudyka is a Chicago-based illustrator. Early on, she created screen-printed gig posters for musicians, but currently her illustration work focuses on young adult, middle grade, and children's books. She has illustrated several volumes of the award-winning book series The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart and Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley, as well as the picture books Sometimes Rain by Meg Fleming, What Miss Mitchell Saw by Hayley Barrett, and How to Find a Bird by Jennifer Ward.
