Review Detail

Runaway Pond features breathtaking watercolor illustrations that look to be digitally enhanced for strikingly clear and realistic renderings of a pond in Vermont in a time over 200 years ago. This story is based on a real pond that flooded downstream and a fast runner warned neighbors so everyone was safe. The illustrations show the power and rage of Mother Nature unbound and the skill of the runner. Overall, this was a captivating story and a reminder of how nature has the power to transform our landscape.
