Awards
Selected for the Best of 2011 Children's Books List by Kirkus Reviews
Reviews
'Whimsy' is a word that runs rampant in the description of children's literature, but Il Sung Na's picture books certainly merit the label. A welcome vision indeed.
- New York Times
Done in ink and oils, overlaid and enhanced digitally with various shapes and layers, the art is vibrant and sports unusual colors with whimsical details. A lovely selection to share with younger children.
- School Library Journal (Starred review)
Mr Na's drawings have a delicious iridescent quality
- The Wall Street Journal
Complex and ethereal at the same time… They are just right for dull winter bedtimes as families wait for warmer weather
- Publishers Weekly
Beginning and ending with the same elements, the spare text suggests the cycle of seasons. Thin black outlines, fanciful patterns and Chagall-like colors imaginatively suggest animals, plants and background while each double-page spread showcases animals engaging in winter preparations from dramatic angles.
- Kirkus Reviews
A sophisticated, accessible and appealing look at winter survival
