I have always loved the National Parks. As a kid I poured over Ansel Adams pictures and made roadtrip plans for my future, driver-licensed self. Ironically, I never was able to visit a national park until I was in my twenties. I mean we lived in New York. There is no national park anywhere near New York. Being an east coaster is tough.
When I saw that this book was an ode to the national parks, I was immediately biased in its favor.
Sorry, subjectivity is not my strong suit.
In gorgeous illustrations, Turk goes through all the people and animals the parks belong to.
Bison!
Fireflies!
City kids, country kids!
The style sort of reminds of some of Georgia O'Keefe's pictures. And I love it.
Native Americans
Isn't this gorgeous?!
So dramatic!
And then, there is a big fold out.
And a listing of all the national parks in the system and the ones pictured in the book.
See New York/New England/Mid Atlantic? A desert of national parks.
