Tour America: A Journey Through Poems and Art
Tour America: A Journey Through Poems and Art
Written by: Diane Siebert
Illustrated by: Stephen T. Johnson
"From New Hampshire's formidable Mount Washington to San Francisco’s spectacular Golden Gate Bridge, the scenic treasures of the United States are brilliantly captured in this artistic tour de force. Award-winning poet Diane Seibert's inventive poems are perfectly paired with Caldecott Honor–recipient Stephen Johnson's compelling imagery. Each turn of the page offers a surprise—whether it's an impressionistic painting of Niagara Falls, a wild collage of Las Vegas, or an evocative tallgrass prairie landscape. Additional facts about each site and a list of art media are provided, making this distinguished volume a gem for the study of literature, art, history, or geography."
