Krátky popis
Cut-paper wizard Nikki McClure is a brilliant steward for the words
of a pioneering environmentalist in this wondrous ode to
clouds--and the scientific ",language of the sky.", Rachel Carson
once wrote, ",It is not half so important to know as to feel.",
What do we know about clouds? There are three basic types: stratus,
cumulus, and cirrus. Some are fleecy and fair-weathered while
others portend storms. But clouds are more than pretty or ominous
backdrops. They're the vehicle of water between sea and land, land
and sea, in a cycle without end or beginning. They are the writing
of the wind on the sky, a language all their own. An illustrator
note explains the origins of Rachel Carson's shimmering
essay--previously unpublished in its entirety--and the process of
adapting it to picture book format, as well as how the author of
Silent Spring forever changed the way we think about science and
progress. Bringing the soft edges of clouds and the natural world
to vivid life with a new, more fluid approach to her signature
cut-paper technique, Nikki McClure inspires true emotional
engagement with the world we all share. An antidote to ",get your
head out of the clouds,", this art-meets-science tribute to
curiosity and wonder is a gift for daydreamers and nature lovers of
all ages.
