Illustrated by
Rafael López.
Starting with an artistically rendered map in blues, greens, and reds, this book provides a quick tour of California. Double-page spreads highlight the state's major cities and regions. Rhythmic rhymed couplets along with cheerfully busy and textured acrylic on wood illustrations reflect each area's unique spirit. An appended section provides factual context for the geographic spots covered in the text.
