Southwest Sunrise - Nikki Grimes

\n \nFrom Children's Literature Legacy Award winner Nikki Grimes and highly-acclaimed illustrator Wendell Minor comes a stunning picture book about the beauty of the natural world and finding a new place to call home. \n \nThe beauty of the natural world is just waiting to be discovered . . . \n \nWhen Jayden touches down in New Mexico, he's uncertain how this place could ever be home. But if he takes a walk outside, he just might find something glorious. \n \nFlowers in bright shades . . . \nBirds and lizards and turtles, all with a story to tell . . . \nRed rock pillars towering in the distance . . . \nTurquoise sky as far as the eye can see . . . \n \nPerhaps this place could be home after all. \n \nGorgeously poetic and visually stunning, this story from acclaimed creators Nikki Grimes and Wendell Minor celebrates the beauty of the Southwest as a young boy sees it for the very first time. \n \nAcclaim for One Last Word \nA Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Winner \nA New York Times Editor's Choice\n
