Sometimes sweeping, sometimes intimate images from 27 U. S. national parks showcase their beauty and majesty, while the accompanying narrative ode emphasizes the parks as being a legacy for all. “You are home” is the repeated refrain of a text that describes the park’s natural features (“soaring doorways of stone, and peaks that pierce the ceiling of clouds”) and inhabitants (wildflowers, pronghorn, fireflies, “resilient bison … prowling bobcat”). The diverse visitors who are shown at “home” in the parks include urban and rural, a child “whose family has just left its first footprints on new shores” and one “whose ancestors lived on these lands before the stars and stripes took them as their own: You are still home.” An author’s note tells more about his long history visiting national parks, and how he created the striking pastel-on-black paper illustrations, many of which were done on location.
