Editorial Reviews

Review

Following in the footsteps of Beowulf and Gilgamesh, our hero Lucius stands against the monstrous black cloud that threatens to ruin the rest of summer vacation. This epic struggle sees our hero fall beaten into a puddle only to rise and, with the aid of the flame in the tall Smoking Stack, conquer the cloud. Children will revel in this epic tale that turns the ordinary into the fantastic. As in the lays of old, the tale is told in rhyme offering children the satisfaction of heroic victory. --ChildrensPictureBook.info (May 2007)

5.0 out of 5 stars A young boy dares to stand up to the threatening black cloud, June 15, 2008
This review is from: Lucius And the Storm (Hardcover)
Lucius and the Storm is a rhyming children's picturebook about a young boy who dares to stand up to the threatening black cloud with the potential to ruin his summer vacation. Though Lucius is beaten into a puddle, he rises again, and with help from the flame in the Smoking Stack, he attains victory over the cloud's oppression. The exuberantly fantastic color illustrations add the perfect touch to this whimsical adventure, told in the spirit of larger-than-life legends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Young Boy with Courage, April 13, 2007
This review is from: Lucius And the Storm (Hardcover)
This inspiring story of courage and determination focuses on one boy's efforts to battle the weather. Lucius refuses to have his summer vacation ruined by an impending downpour so--brave soul that he is--he decides to take on the storm and fight to restore sunshine. The oil paintings are simply outstanding--moody, textural, and wonderfully evocative.
