The Horn Book has released it’s 2009 Fanfare titles–their selections for the best books of the year, and Redwoods made the cut! Here’s their review and a link to the full list. What an honor to be included with such esteemed company!
In Jason Chin’s Redwoods, a straightforward and informative text about coastal redwoods captions pictures that tell not exactly a different story, but one whose metafictional cheek will draw readers in — just as the book’s hero is drawn, by his imagination, high into the redwood canopy. Science and story are seamlessly pulled together in neatly crafted paintings. (6–9 years)
