StoryWalk book in downtown Brighton, MI

There's a new StoryWalk book in downtown Brighton on the Tridge: "The Big Empty."

In spare, poetic text written from the point of view of big sagebrush, readers are transported to the vast landscape of western North America. This incredibly resilient plant, which can live as long as one hundred years, provides food and shelter as well as shadows to conceal both predators and prey. After a wildfire passes through, it grows again and will thrive once more. Michigan author and illustrator Kirbi Fagan captures the beauty of this essential plant in her lyrical words and richly detailed illustrations.

Hear Kirbi read this book at 2 Dandelions Bookshop's storytime on Saturday, April 18 at 11 a.m.

This StoryWalk is made possible by Kiwanis Club of Brighton.
