Lyrical prose and warm watercolor illustrations bring a “certain part of the country called Appalachia” alive for young readers. Two award-winning artists, forever touched by their experiences growing up in this unique landscape, have teamed to create a quietly powerful and beautifully crafted portrait of life in a timeless place. Appalachia is where you’ll find Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Cynthia Rylant grew up in this area with her grandparents.
