It's up to Evergreen to stay the course\, and those who help her will surprise and delight young readers.\n\n\n\nThe Horn Book says\, "The varied page layouts convey both the coziness of Evergreen's world and the tension of life as part of the woodland food chain." \n\n \n\nMore About the Author: Matthew Cordell received the Caldecott Medal for Wolf in the Snow.
