No. 22 in my #FavePicturebooks25 is Island Storm by #BrianFloca & @sydneydraws.bsky.social a tour de force! Two kids caught in a storm, Floca’s wordplay and Smith’s evocative art capture nature’s raw power. Stunning and evocative. No one does sea like Sydney Smith #PicturebookPage.

Wow!

“Island Storm” by #BrianFloca
and @sydneydraws.bsky.social is a true tour de force. It tells the story of two children caught outside in a storm. Floca’s powerful wordplay couples with Smith’s stunning evocative artwork which capture the power of the storm. Stunning #PicturebookPage

2. “Locomotive” by #BrianFloca

A brilliant panoramic landscape #UnderTheDustJacket showing the time before the railways and therefore ultimately the impact. This book also has extraordinary #Endpapers adding so much to the book. @simonandschuster.bsky.social
