Review Quotes
... Graceful, well-constructed rhymes ("Hello humpback/ ocean blue/ chatty raven/ mountain view") pair with First Nations artist Vickers's crisp, luminous scenes, with animals drawn in the bold, abstracted style of the region's indigenous artists. Glossy elements add literal and figurative dimension: as a boy fishes on a dock under a blood-red sky, an enormous embossed fish can be faintly seen in the water below. It's a gorgeous glimpse of the distinctive landscapes and creatures of the Northwest, and it will enchant residents and nonlocal alike. Ages 2-6. (June) *Star Review
