Henry Hikes to Fitchburg by D B Johnson

Inspired by a passage from Henry David Thoreau's Walden, the wonderfully appealing Henry Hikes to Fitchburg follows two friends who have very different approaches to life. When the two agree to meet one evening in Fitchburg, which is thirty miles away, each decides to get there in his own way, and the two have surprisingly different days.

For more than two decades, D.B.Johnson has worked as a freelance illustrator, creating editorial cartoons, comic strips, and conceptual graphics for magazines and newspapers across the country. Henry Hikes to Fitchburg, Johnson's debut picture book, was a New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller, as well as an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists. The Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Picture Books and the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award were among the honors bestowed upon Henry Hikes to Fitchburg. Johnson resides in the state of New Hampshire. http://www.henryhikes.com
