Why I recommend this — 31 weeks ago
Absolutely wonderful. Jeffers is my new favorite children’s illustrator of the moment. Way Back Home has the sweet simplicity of his other books with gorgeous illustrations and a nice little story. He refrains from writing in a child-like way, where many other children’s authors write in a form that is a step above baby-talk (which is completely annoying). And my absolute favorite thing about this book is the continuity (read Lost and Found before this book.)
And I hear he lives in Brooklyn to boot…now I just need to track him down to do a reading in my store. ::insert giddy squeals::
