"[A] gorgeous, emotionally expansive book. Meloy hails his hero in emphatic, lyric-like poetry. The dynamic spreads evoke both the historic heft of vintage newspaper photography and the soaring beauty of righteous, joyous song." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Meloy honors the long career of this remarkable activist in words that sing and soar in joyful homage. Positively joyous." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Meloy's ode to Pete Seeger celebrates his life as a performer, songwriter, union organizer, civil rights advocate, ship builder, sailor, carpenter, and environmentalist. This makes a good introduction to Seeger and his many contributions to American music." -- Booklist "In this unique picture book biography of the late folk musician and activist, the text is written as lyrics to a ballad.


McClure's artwork complements the subject with her signature style of impeccable and fluid cut paper. [A] thoughtful and exquisitely-illustrated tribute to Pete Seeger." -- School Library Journal Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "A richly satisfying weave of reality and fantasy." -- New York Times Book Review Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "Meloy's debut is the kind of delicate, elaborate fantasy that is so well versed in classic Narnian tropes that it is destined to be enthusiastically embraced." -- ALA Booklist *starred review* Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "Meloy has an immediately recognizable verbal style and creates a fully realized fantasy world. Ellis's illustrations perfectly capture the original world and contribute to the feel of an instant timeless classic." -- School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "Meloy's storytelling skills, honed on his epic ballads for The Decemberists, translate well to prose. Ellis's precise, detailed style evokes a folksy charm that is just right for the overgrown natural world of Wildwood and its inhabitants.


" -- The Atlantic Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "This book is like the wild, strange forest it describes. It is full of suspense and danger and frightening things the world has never seen, and once I stepped inside I never wanted to leave." -- Lemony Snicket Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "Wildwood is an irresistible, atmospheric adventure - richly imagined and richly rewarding." -- Trenton Lee Stewart Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "Dark and whimsical, with a true and uncanny sense of otherworldliness, Wildwood is the heir to a great tradition of stories of wild childhood adventure. It snatched me up and carried me off into a world I didn't want to leave." -- Michael Chabon Praise for THE WILDWOOD CHRONICLES: "Wildwood is a beautiful object and a beautiful read. One part fairy tale, one part coming of age story, one part unrepentantly gorgeous work of art, this book is overflowing with gifts." -- Jonathan Safran Foer.
