Take to the trails for a celebration of nature -- and a day spent with dad. In the cool and quiet early light of morning, a father and child wake up. Today they're going on a hike. Follow the duo into the mountains as they witness the magic of the wilderness, overcome challenges, and play a small role in the survival of the forest. By the time they return home, they feel alive -- and closer than ever -- as they document their hike and take their place in family history. In detail-rich panels and textured panoramas, Pete Oswald perfectly paces this nearly wordless adventure, allowing readers to pause for subtle wonders and marvel at the views. A touching tribute to the bond between father and child, with resonant themes for Earth Day, Hike is a breath of fresh air.Author: Pete OswaldPublisher: Candlewick Press (MA)Published: 03/17/2020Pages: 40Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.95lbsSize: 11.50h x 8.40w x 0.50dISBN: 9781536201574Audience: Ages 4-8Review Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 01/06/2020Kirkus Reviews 01/15/2020 pg. 113School Library Journal 02/01/2020 pg. 55Booklist 02/01/2020 pg. 51Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 03/01/2020Horn Book Magazine 03/01/2020 pg. 67Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2020 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In StyleAbout the AuthorPete Oswald is the illustrator of the New York Times bestsellers The Bad Seed and The Good Egg, both written by Jory John.
