Tour America

by Johnson Siebert and Diane Siebert and Stephen T. Johnson

Tour America Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Review:

"This is a beautiful book to hold, to peruse, and to read aloud." Children's Literature

Review:

"This distinguished offering blends poetry, geography, art, and history." School Library Journal

Review:

"Entertaining, educational and possibly even inspirational." Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Diane Siebert and her husband left their jobs, sold their possessions, and set out on an incredible ten-year journey around the United States (and some of Mexico). This experience inspired her many award-winning children's books: Truck Song, Train Song, Plane Song, Motorcycle Song, Heartland, Mojave, Sierra, Rhyolite, Mississippi, and Cave. She lives in Oregon.

Stephen Johnson is the author-illustrator of such well-known books as My Little Red Toolbox, City by Number, and the Caldecott Honor–winning Alphabet City. He lives in Kansas with his wife and two daughters.
