Foreword Review – Picture Books

Delivering the message that nature is something that human beings are a part of, not separate from, this board book devotes its pages to facets of the natural world: a haughty buck shares the animals page with a grinning narwhal and a stunned raccoon; cephalopods drift beside the boat on the page for oceans; and children run and fly kites on a page celebrating “you.” Collage illustrations make use of maps and other found materials for their muted colors, making every page a visual feast.
