...Salmon Creek is a rare information book: one that engages head
and heart.
*Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW*
Reczuch, Karen's sumptuous, detailed paintings complement the text
to create an informative resource useful for explaining the
remarkable natural phenomenon of salmon migration.
*Green Teacher*
Salmon Creek is one of those rare information picture books which
proves equally engaging to young listeners and older independent
readers. (To say nothing of adult readers who can't help but savor
the poetic text and breathtaking illustrations.)
