Wendell Minor

    Wendell Minor se ve svých ilustracích a autorských dílech zaměřuje na lásku k přírodě a životnímu prostředí.

Jeho umělecký přístup spočívá v hlubokém výzkumu a osobní zkušenosti s každým prostředím. Jeho práce, která často zahrnuje ilustrace pro přírodovědná témata, byla opakovaně oceněna a oceněna v prestižních seznamech a získala několik významných ocenění.

    • Perfect for the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing in summer 2019! It took years of determination and believing that any goal was possible-from riding a bike alone across the George Washington Bridge at age ten to making a footprint on the moon.

But after many months in the wilderness, living in harmony with the wolves that saved her life, she knows the time has come.Julie is not prepared, however, for all the changes that she finds. Her father has forsaken many of the old Eskimo traditions. He has given up his sled dogs for a snowmobile, and now looks after the musk oxen that serve as the village's income. He will do anything to protect them—even shoot any wolves that might threaten the herd. Julie knows that, like her father, she must find a way to reconcile the old ways with the new. But how can she do that without putting her beloved wolves in danger?

      Here, in their second stunning collaboration, Diane Siebert and Wendell Minor create a joyful, singing celebration of this country's Heartland, the Midwest. It is a land where wheat fields grow and cornfields stretch across the plains to create a patchwork quilt in hues of yellow, green, and brown; a land where herds of cattle graze in pastures draped in lush, green grass, and a newborn calf stands in the sun. And upon this land toils the farmer, strong and proud, whose weathered face tells a tale of a life of work that's never done. The Heartland -- a land where, despite man's power, nature reigns. 1989 Children's Editors' Choices (BL)Notable 1989 Childrens' Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC)1990 Notable Trade Books in the Language Arts (NCTE)Favorite Paperbacks for 1994 (IRA/CBC)
