Into the Woods: John James Audubon Lives His Dream

By Robert Burleigh
Illustrated by Wendell Minor

As a young man, John James Audubon, the renowned American woodsman and artist, had to make a choice between following his father's dreams for him and discovering his own special destiny. In this beautifully conceived book, Robert Burleigh intersperses quotations taken directly from Audubon's journals with an imaginary conversation in which Audubon tells his father why he has chosen to forgo the ordinary life of a shopkeeper and instead live ou in nature to develop his art and his relationship with sumptuous images by Wendell Minor, but with actual drawings by Audubon himself, this book will appeal to Audubon fans of all ages.

Heartland

Heartland

By Diane Siebert
Illustrated by Wendell Minor

Here, in their second stunning collaboration, Diane Siebert and Wendell Minor create a joyful, singing celebration of this country's Heartland, the Midwest. It is a land where wheat fields grow and cornfields stretch across the plains to create a patchwork quilt in hues of yellow, green, and brown; a land where herds of cattle graze in pastures draped in lush, green grass, and a newborn calf stands in the sun. And upon this land toils the farmer, strong and proud, whose weathered face tells a tale of a life of work that's never done. The Heartland -- a land where, despite man's power, nature reigns.

Christmas Tree!
