Cliff Wright.
A young badger describes what happens when his parents fight: "It gets dark, and I am lost. It gets cold, and I shiver." Against expressive watercolors of the arguing parents, the child badger creeps through a stormy landscape, dramatically rendered in stark, wintry tones. Later, when the parents are friends, the badger's spirits rise. The text has a comforting rhythm, and the art is striking.
