Mason Moves Away (Solomon Raven)

People enter the northwoods and Mason's peaceful environment will never be the same. Solomon explains the gentle balance that must exist between humans and wildlife. The changes that come with moving can be a good thing! Fourth in a four book seasonally themed series. This is the summer theme. . Books in the series include: A Home for Pearl Squirrel (fall), Lewis Cardinal's First Winter (winter), Cinnamon & the April Shower (spring), Mason Moves Away (summer). Robb Mommaerts has a style that is a cross between cartoon-like characterization, authenticity and his own playful imagination. Using elements of both fantasy and reality, Robb starts each illustration as a black and white colored pencil drawing on bristol board paper with a Berol Prismacolor black pencil. He then colors the art in a layered digital Adobe Photoshop file. Several overlays of color are used to achieve the look and mood that is needed.
