Surreal illustrations by Sanna, rendered in pencil, ink, and digital painting, use saturated hues-sages, teals, and rusts-to show Earth as both cause and effect: she becomes and rides on the wind, rains on and then wrings out sopping trees, before finally 'waiting' for another spring. A poetic entrée into Earth's modes rendered with an appreciation for natural details.-<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review</b><br><br>Die cuts, flaps, and curved page contours yield surprises. . . .
