BrindleFox by John Sandford
Immerse yourself in a world reminiscent of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale with this gorgeously illustrated story about a reclusive fox, a mysterious tree, and the life-giving power of friendship. BrindleFox refuses to be a friend, so he has no friends. He never lets anyone into his home, so he doesn't bother to clean it. Moss and ivy weave through his furniture, and weeds and grasses grow on his floors and in his drawers. One morning, he discovers something unexpected-a tree has begun sprouting from his back. Unphased by this development, he continues on with his life, and the tree continues to grow. One day, a strange heron appears in his tree. Furious, BrindleFox attempts to drive the intruder away and finds himself stunned by something he doesn't understand-a selfless act of kindness from a fearless new friend. Brilliantly illustrated, BrindleFox touches on themes of sadness, loneliness, self-care, and the redeeming power of friendship in simple ways that children will intuitively understand. Little ones will be welcomed into a world brimming with hidden wonders and memorable characters that they will want to revisit time and time again.
After seven years as an art director with Cricket Magazine, John Sandford has recently retired to pursue his own creative projects full-time. To bring words to life, John uses different approaches for each story to evoke mood, place, and the personality of characters. He studied painting and illustration at the American Academy of Art and illustrated his first picture book in 1978. Over the years, Sandford's work has garnered many starred reviews as well as a Parents' Choice Gold medal (The Terrible Hodag and the Animals Catchers by Caroline Arnold, 2006). John lives in Chicago.
