When the Giant Stirred: Legend of a Volcanic Island de Celia Godkin
Descripción - Críticas Once in a while, an informational picture book comes along that is special. This is one of those times! The text outlines the story of a volcanic island as it changes from a lush fertile paradise to a cataclysmic end with an eventual new beginning. Along the way, we learn about the island before the eruption; the flora, fauna and people. The text is clear, as well as poetic and describes the original beauty of the island in perfect evocative detail. The drama of one of nature_s great disasters is retold in such a way, that the reader sees, smells and feels everything as it unfolds. But the real triumph of this book is the illustrations! The oil paintings of the island in all its stages of growth, destruction and rebirth are beautifully rendered in warm, jewel like tones. A must for all school and public libraries. - ResourceLinks 'This book works well on many levels: at the same time as young readers learn about natural regeneration and tropical life, they will absorb at a subconscious level the post-impressionist style of painting.' - City Parent 'A captivating nature genre book that is in tune with the fragile balance of all life...this perfect blend of dramatic artwork and text makes this book a must for schools, libraries and homes.' - The Blue Planet'Once in a while, an informational picture book comes along that is special.

Biografía del autor Celia Godkin trained as a biologist and worked as a scientific illustrator. An illustration job preparing signs for the Winnipeg zoo led to a collaboration on the book Endangered Species: Canada's Disappearing Wildlife. Encouraged by this success Celia illustrated an ecology story she had written years earlier and showed it to her publisher. The resulting book, Wolf Island, won the Children's Literature Roundtables Best Information Book Award and led to a succession of information storybooks.
