Salmon Creek

Text and illustrations are so beautiful. I first bought the book for a grandchild, then bought the same book for two other grandchildren and two adult friends and one for myself!!!!

Excellent Story

I highly recommend Salmon Creek. It is an excellent resource for learning about the salmon in a rich poetic story form. The beautiful artwork enhances the story and there is more factual information, including a timeline, at the end of the book.

Presenting accurate information about the life cycle of the wild Pacific salmon in the format of a beautifully illustrated picturebook, young readers age 4 to 8 will enjoy author Annette LeBox's eloquent and enthusiastically recommended story of Sumi, a coho salmon from her birth and trip down river to the ocean, to her time as a fully mature fish swimming in the great seas, to her determined return up river to her birthplace where she can spawn. Karen Reczuch's artwork is a perfect visual aid in caring forward the informative text, which is enhanced with the inclusion of an afterword presenting the factual basis for the picturebook story and the threats facing wild salmon today. Especially recommended for school and community library collections, Salmon Creek is also available in a hardcover edition (0888994583, $16.95).

The brief life of Sumi, a coho salmon, is the subject of this lyrical picture book. All phases of Sumi's life are shown, from her trip downriver to the ocean; to her time as a mature fish swimming in the great seas; to the most mysterious period in her life cycle, the determined return against great obstacles to the remote creak of her birthplace. Thousands of people come to witness the last great moments in the lives of salmon because it is such a moving and interesting phenomenon.

Annette LeBox's poetic text and Karen Reczuch's shimmering illustrations offer young readers a lesson in ecology and a touching story of the natural world.
