BLACK AND WHITE

🇬🇧 Description:

Two little dogs frolic and dream of adventures beyond their wildest imaginations, from jungles of the Congo with towering ebony elephants to the whitewashed, frigid arctic where the icy white polar bears roam. Dahlov Ipcar once again pairs her timeless illustrations with fresh original verse that celebrates the unity, wonder and beauty of the living, breathing natural world around us.

Reviews:

The story, evidently inspired by the U.S. Civil Rights movement, celebrates nature with Ipcar’s rhymes and cool, compelling colors. […] Black and White is a beauty.
—Kirkus Reviews

The lyrical, evocative rhymes are accompanies by vivid illustrations on expansive spreads. . . . This timeless story can also be seen as a subtle allegory depicting integration, as Ipcar interweaves black and white in an effortless, celebratory way."
—School Library Journal

[…] it would seem that more than a little of [Margaret Wise] Brown’s puckish wit and calming lyricism rubbed off on [Ipcar] in this waggish tale about a "little black dog and a little white dog" with big dreams.
