If You Hold a Seed

unpaged picture book
The seasons pass with each turn of the page. The short sentences help move the pages along as they describe the weather and the growth of a single tree. Though you will linger long after reading the text as you enjoy the stunning illustrations. The creator used a fascinating layered technique with photography and lighting to invoke the atmosphere of the seasons. Please visit her website to learn more about this as I know my words can't do it justice. http://www.ellymackay.com/process/ I wish the artist was in the US so this could be a Caldecott contender next year, but alas, she is Canadian!
