Reviews
Turk captures the very idea of our national parks. With bold, freewheeling painting and equally bold, concise poetry, plus informational pages, he has made a book as majestic and inclusive as its subject., * "This love letter to America's national treasures is an important, informative invitation to experience and explore.", * "Expansive . . . Turk's magnificent, lush illustrations, with deft use of light and shadow, depict not only grandiose mountains and vistas (Yosemite appears in a stunning double-gatefold spread) but also the creatures therein (a bobcat in Yosemite, fireflies in the Smokies) and the families who visit. . . . It all adds up to an informative and breathtaking exploration of U.S. national parks.", This lyrical tribute demands art to match, and Ezra Jack Keats Book Award winner Evan Turk rises to the challenge. . . . A gallant rebuke to the expression 'You had to be there.', * "Splendid landscapes by Turk celebrate America's national parks. . . . In consistently powerful spreads, the artist highlights the play of sun and shadow over mountains and canyons with fiery oranges, deep rusts and cobalts, and velvety black. There are 58 U.S. national parks, and 22 appear here, from Yosemite and Yellowstone to Biscayne Bay. It's hard to imagine a more fitting testament to their grandeur.", * "Much like the parks they celebrate, each majestic spread in this book holds wonders for the eye to explore. . . . Perusing this book induces a longing to go outside and travel but also to create art of one's own. Masterful."
