Description
From celebrated artist Nikki McClure, a lyrical and lovely picture book about a child exploring the world as he grows.
A Forest: A place where you wake to birdsong and explore deer paths and coyote trails.
A Family: A place where you sip cocoa and tell tales of your adventures.
A Harbor: A place where you feel the wind blow and wait for tides to rise before you set sail.
A Home: A place you leave to find your way in the world. A place where you are loved. A place you always return to.
Gorgeously handcrafted, rooted in the nature and landscape of the Northwest, and threaded with the experience of child- and parenthood, A Forest, A Family, A Harbor, A Home is a rich and deeply felt meditation on the intimacy of home, the wonder of the world, and the magic of discovery.
About the Author: Nikki McClure is a papercut artist and children’s book creator based in Olympia, Washington. She has illustrated numerous books, including the Washington State Book Awards Finalist Old Wood Boat and Rachel Carson’s About the Sky, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book.
Advance Praise
"A quiet meditation on home, memory, and the places that shape us… McClure’s signature cut-paper illustrations blend bold silhouettes and luminous washes of blue and green into intimate, richly detailed scenescapes… Soft, stunning, and cozy as a hug." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
