Arctic Sky

by Vladyana Krykorka

tagged: birds
Description

Vladyana Krykorka brings the arctic world to life with her signature illustration style. This board book focuses on a particular aspect of arctic wildlife—often showing a mother with her young—and pairs lovely watercolor paintings with simple and expressive language. Arctic Sky introduces young readers to birds, such as swooping owls and graceful, gliding swans.

Young readers will love the innovative, sturdy fold-out format, which allows the books to be read over and over or to be hung on a wall as standalone pieces of art. Also available in a boxed set along with the other two books in the series.

Boxed set $17.95 978-1-55451-345-1

Editorial Reviews

“... takes the subtle shades of the Arctic land and sky and exaggerates them in glorious technicolour effect. The pairs of animals are engaging and the scenes are full of movement.”—CM Reviews, 02/12


“The long line of animals when the book is fully open is beautiful, filled with color and creatures.”—wakingbraincells.com, 10/24/11


“The landscape and wildlife of the North are beautifully captured in this three board book set.”—Resource Links, 12/11
