With paper, pencil, paint, and brush in hand, Virginia Wright-Frierson takes readers on an artist's tour through the Sonoran Desert in A Desert Scrapbook and a North Carolina barrier island in An Island Scrapbook. These heartfelt tributes to two unique regions include personal observations and informative explorations. The illustrations, magnificently composed to create the look and feel of a scrapbook, present intricate and fascinating portraits of two distinctive ecosystems. Young artists, readers, and journal keepers will be inspired by the chance to watch an artist at work and will long to create sketchbooks and scrapbooks of their own special environments.
