In this innovative journey from night to day and back again, city evolves into country and rivers and streams evolve into oceans by the most subtle of associations and the most unpredictable of transformations. Richard McGuire's strikingly graphic and original illustrations give us a perspective on our world as we've never seen it before. "What seems deceptively simple often demands a second or third thought in this creative picture book...that will spark the imagination."-- Booklist, starred review. Richard McGuire won the Society of Illustrators Gold Medal for The Orange Book (Universe/ Puffin). His illustrations have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, and other publications. He is also the author of What Goes Around Comes Around (Viking).
