About the Book

Water falls softly In cold snow crystals Onto the mountaintop... So begins Eileen Cameron's poetic rendering of a canyon's creation. Cameron captures millions of years of geology in 38 thrilling lines as she follows the water's journey down from the mountaintop, gaining power and strength with each mile. "Drops that trickle through crannies", become a stream that "cascades through the rocks" and then a river that "crashes through boulders ... digging the river bed, steepening the cliffs." And the canyon is born. Michael Collier's stunning photographs of the creeks, streams, waterfalls, rivers, grottos and canyons of the Colorado evoke the lyrical beauty and raw power of the canyon and the forces that create it. Through their art, Cameron and Collier have conveyed to the young reader a feeling of awe and wonder for one of nature's most spectacular creations.

About the Author :
Canyon comes out of Eileen Cameron's love for the canyon lands of America's west, which she has hiked and explored extensively. An ardent preservationist, she has worked to conserve both our natural and historical resources. Canyon is Eileen Cameron's first book for children. Geologist, pilot, photographer and writer, Michael Collier has published books on the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Capitol Reef and Denali. He is a special projects writer for the U.S. Geological Survey and was the recipient of their Shoemaker Communication Award in 1997. In 2000, he received the National Park Service's Director's Award. Michael Collier lives in Flagstaff, Arizona where he also works as a family physician. Canyon is his first children's book.

Review :
We don't tend to think of geology and poetry in the same breath, but "Canyon" is a book which might make us change our minds.--Dan Davidson "Whitehorse Star" (1/17/2003 12:00:00 AM) Breathtaking, stunning, awe-inspiring -- these are just a few of the words which can be used to describe the photographs in Cameron's debut children's book.--Gail Hamilton "Canadian Materials" (6/21/2002 12:00:00 AM) Elegantly written by Eileen Cameron, Canyon is an especially beautiful picture book for young beginning readers ... Very highly recommended for both school and community library picture book collections.-- "Children's Bookwatch" (5/1/2002 12:00:00 AM) Elegantly written... Cameron's simple, poetic, evocative thoughts are completely in tune with the Grand Canyon's timeless splendor. A wondrous picture book for young folks with stunning photographs sure to cause readers of all ages to sit up and take notice. Canyon is very highly recommended.-- "Midwest Book Review" (1/1/2002 12:00:00 AM) Poetic text and stunning color photographs combine to form a lyrical and visual essay on water's journey from the sky, down the mountains, in the rivers, and finally forming canyons ... This is a title for reading aloud to inspire an appreciation for the grandeur of nature.--Pamela K. Bomboy "School Library Journal" (5/1/2002 12:00:00 AM) The photographs are breathtaking ... Highly Recommended.--D. Crockett "Library Talk" (9/1/2002 12:00:00 AM)
