Description

"In this celebration of the American landscape, Siebert's measured verses convey the majesty of the mountain personified, Sierra herself.

There is a siren's-song quality to this lovely book [and] readers might well feel how tragically possible it is for us to love our wilderness to death." -- SLJ. 1992 Teachers' Choices (IRA)Notable 1991 Children's Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC)Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children 1991 (NSTA/CBC)John and Patricia Beatty Award (California Library Association) - from Amzon
