Blankets

So I thought I would just start this book before I went to bed and read the first section...nope! I was hooked instantly and read the whole book! I can not even begin to explain how much I loved the art work in this book, I especially love it when he takes an entire page just for a single illustration which is filled with feelings and really gorgeous work. There is effort and a ton of love and care put into this book. I especially love the blanket quilt type patterns and designs that are through this book and is great symbolism for what that time in his life has given him.

The story is my favorite type of tropes where it's really well illustrated, coming of age stories with a road trip, during summer time...only this time it was WINTER! Wow, that's a first! Living in a similar area I know how magical, clean, and silently beautiful a blanket of snow can be. I really enjoyed the story and illustrations and if you liked this story you may enjoy This One Summer ~Ashley
