original story Quotes

Caldecott Medal winner Peggy Rathmann has created a highly original story told in a lilting text and a bold new style with classic black silhouettes against stunning skies of many colors that change and glow as afternoon turns into evening.

“This dramatic, original story--set in the Pacific Northwest and based on a Tlingit legend--combines illustrations with an elaborate cut-paperwork that contributes to a 3-D effect. Native Northwest design motifs are found throughout.”
