My Wilderness: An Alaskan Adventure

(3) K-3 This picture book, inspired by a memoir by Rockwell Kent III, concerns nine months in 1918 that he and his father spent on Fox Island off the coast of Alaska with a single frontiersman for a neighbor. The spare, evocative narrative reveals Rocky's adventurous pleasures as well as occasional fears. Attractive colored woodcuts, appropriately styled like Rocky's father's art (painter Rockwell Kent), illustrate the story.
