The Sierra Nevada Mountains
in California have a special place in our hearts, not only because our kids
have grown up playing in the meadows, fishing in the creeks and hiking this glorious
landscape, but also because this unique American wilderness is preserved across generations. Imagine spending the
afternoon flopped down in a green meadow, kids dipping their feet in a
cool mountain stream, surrounded by purple and yellow wildflowers.
Poem and stunning
illustrations bring to light the Sierra Nevada glacier-carved
granite rocks, majestic sequoias, graceful deer, big black bears,
clear streams and alpine lakes, the wide-open high country. "I
am the mountain, tall and grand. And like a sentinel I stand."
