The Buffalo Storm

32 pp. | Clarion | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-53597-2 $16.00
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Ormerod. A girl travels the Oregon Trail with her family. Spare, poetic prose draws readers in, communicating emotions from terror of storms to joy of new life. Ormerod's muted watercolor and pastel illustrations capture the dusty trail and blur of a buffalo stampede. Text boxes, framed in cut paper and layered on the art, set off the words without distraction.
