This quiet mood piece in the first person plural tells of two nature lovers exploring the woods on a foggy morning, hoping to catch sight of a deer. The richly metaphoric text and dreamy, atmospheric watercolors attest to the artistry of both author and illustrator, an artistry that will prove best-suited to aesthetically- rather than plot-inclined readers.
