Publisher Description In this moving account of loss, a boy takes a walk in the woods and makes a discovery that changes his understanding of his father.A week after the funeralI stare in the morning mirror,angry that my father's eyes stare back at me.Confused and distraught after the death of his father, a boy opens an envelope he left behind and is surprised to find a map of the woods beyond their house, with one spot marked in bright red. But why? The woods had been something they shared together, why would his father want him to go alone? Slowly, his mind settles as he sets off through the spaces he once explored with his dad, passing familiar beech and black oak trees, flitting Carolina wrens, and a garter snake they named Sal. When he reaches the spot marked on the map, he finds pages upon pages of drawings of woodland creatures, made by his father when he was his age. What he sees shows him a side of his dad he never knew, and something even deeper for them to share together. His dad knew what he really needed was a walk in the woods.New York Times bestselling author Nikki Grimes and the Caldecott Award winning illustrator Jerry Pinkney spent the early days of the pandemic emailing back and forth and talking about collaborating on a book, with Jerry sharing all of the pictures he took of the woods around his house. From this, they conjured a story of a boy's struggle with grief, and all the things he sees and feels on a walk through the forest.Jerry sadly passed away in the fall of 2021, but not before he delivered tight pencil sketches of the forests he loved. When his son Brian took on the task of completing the illustrations, he found himself connecting with his father in a whole new way, his experience mirroring that of the boy in the book. The result is a simultaneously touching and deeply authentic story about the ways shared pastimes keep us close to those we've lost.A New York Times Best Children's Book of the YearA Smithsonian Magazine Best Children's Book of the YearAn NPR Book We LoveA Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the YearA Horn Book Fanfare BookA Bookstagang Best Illustrated Picture Book of the YearA Publishers Weekly Best Book of the YearA Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year!One of BookPage's Ten Best Books of the YearA CSMCL Best Multicultural Children's Book of the YearA Bank Street Best Children's Book of the YearA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard SelectionAn Evanston Public Library Great Book for Kids Details ISBN 0823449653 ISBN-13 9780823449651 Title A Walk in the Woods Author Nikki Grimes, Jerry Pinkney, Brian Pinkney Format Hardcover Year 2023 Pages 40 Publisher Holiday House Inc GEItemID:159239408; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
