California, the Magic Island

48 pp. | Heyday | April, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59714-332-5 $17.00
(4) K-3 Calafia, queen of the magic island California, learns that a "distant land" has been named after hers. Defending their homeland to her, animals tell stories about the state's history and culture (each loosely represented by a letter). The alphabet structure feels arbitrary, but the whole is an unexpected introduction to California. Handsomely designed pages include ornate framed color vignettes. Further information appended.
