Thank you to the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards Committee for honoring Fungi Grow. I have found the Horn Book to be a guiding voice and influence both in my time illustrating and writing picture books and as an avid reader of the genre. I have long admired Maria Gianferrari’s writing and her love of the natural world. It’s an interest we both share, and I was delighted when offered the opportunity to illustrate Fungi Grow.

A reminder not only of nature’s delicate beauty, but also of its fragility. A girl forms an intimate friendship with an Icelandic natural wonder. On the day she’s born, Angela’s father introduces her to Snæfellsjökull, an enormous glacier visible from Reykjavik. Before Angela can walk, they hike there, daughter atop Dad’s back.
