In this majestic poem, Diane Siebert vividly brings to life the multitude of plants and animals that call the Sierra Nevada home. Wendell Minor captures them all - the small shy pika, the mighty mountain lion, the great sequoias - in splendid landscapes and rich detail. This third collaboration between Siebert and Minor again portrays their unique vision of the glory of our world.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Minor, Wendell (illustrator). Paperback. "In this celebration of the American landscape, Siebert's measured verses convey the majesty of the mountain personified, Sierra herself. Minor's stunning acrylic paintings evoke the breathtaking beauty of his subject. There is a siren's-song quality to this lovely book [and] readers might well feel how tragically possible it is for us to love our wilderness to death." -- SLJ. 1992 Teachers' Choices (IRA)Notable 1991 Children's Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC)Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children 1991 (NSTA/CBC)John and Patricia Beatty Award (California Library Association) Told in Sierra's voice, the mountain chronicles her life from her geological birth, through the ice ages, to her present beauty. Siebert's lilting verse and Minor's full-color paintings bring this natural wonder to life. A 1991 Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies and 1991 NSTA/CBC Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children.
