Description: "A group of friends discovers a neglected pond in the woods and decides to fix it up together"--
Brief description: Jim LaMarche is one of the most talented artists working in children's books today. His many successful books include The Rainbabies by Laura Kraus Melmed; Albert by Donna Jo Napoli, which was selected as a New York Times Best Illustrated Book; and Up and The Raft, which he also wrote. Most recently he illustrated The Carpenter's Gift by David Rubel and Puma Dreams by Tony Johnston. Jim lives in Santa Cruz, California.
Review Quotes: The combination of children, water, trees, and birds offers many scenes of richness and wonder, and LaMarche's detailed artwork captures it in sharp focus. It's a powerful vision of making one's own wild place, with no special equipment or expenditure required. * PUBLSHERS WEEKLY, starred review--Publishers Weekly *STARRED REVIEW* "June 20, 2016"
