Arrow to Alaska

Any fan of S Is for Salmon, one of our favorite picture books last year, will immediately recognize Hannah Viano's distinctive papercut style in her new book. Arrow to Alaska is a story for slightly older readers or listeners, but it's just as local: a boy's adventure that evokes the breathless beauty of the Northwest waterways from the Ballard Locks to the Alaskan salmon grounds, whether seen by water or—surprise!—air. (Age 4 to 8) —Tom

P.S. On April 28 at 11 am, Hannah Viano will be reading from Arrow to Alaska at Mockingbird Books, just down the hill near Green Lake.
