Cindy Derby I

 

'Outside In', written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Cindy Derby is a book that is well overdue, a love letter to nature, a recognition of its power and joy. Deborah's writing is a perfect tonic matched with Cindy Derby's wonderfully unruly watercolor woodscapes this is a magical book well deserving of its Caldecott Honour. Thank you
