DESCRIPTION:
A classic for children! Excellently written and beautiful photography! Every adult has a book they remember that as a child, was their "favorite book." "Deep in Alaska" is destined to be a classic for children.. Nice children's book I loved the book. It was simple but an easy read for a child to memorize. My kids loved it! It made them wish for the snow. It will become one of our classics at home. Thanks!
“Christine Johnson’s prose is brief and unobtrusive, perfectly accompanying Gary Johnson’s photography, wherein the combination of snow and overcast skies all but washes out other surroundings, rendering the boy’s journey an adventure into the deep unknown.”
On a wintry white day, a small boy and a red sled step out for an adventure. Told entirely in haiku, this gentle book evokes both joy and calm. As they slip through the snowy woods, their imagined journey takes place against real black-and-white photos of Eagle River, Alaska. The black, red, and white color scheme is perfect for very young children, but readers of all ages will find the lyrical tone and captivating pictures a delightful invitation to explore the forest again and again.
