- Synopsis
- A picture book from an award-winning artist that uses vibrant reds and blues to stunningly evoke the intensity of a heatwave and the refreshing relief that comes with an unexpected downpour of a cooling rain.Sweltering. Sweating. It&’s 100 degrees… even in the shade.Games are canceled, temperatures reach record highs. The sun is hot.Finally, a wind picks up. One rain drop. Then another. A downpour. The sun sets and the moon rises, Relief at last.Heatwave is a book that vividly evokes a universal feeling--when the air is so hot and heavy you can barely move, when the sun is so bright your eyes play tricks on you. Renowned artist, writer and MacArthur genuis grant recipient, Lauren Redniss&’s choice to use just two vibrant and contrasting colors in her artwork and spare text makes for a bold and interesting exploration of extreme weather. Even the book itself is saturated in red as if the book itself is burning up.
