"An unforgettable story." --Starred,Booklist "Nature and civilization collide in this thought-provoking picture book based on the story of a boy discovered living alone in the mountain forests of southern France in 1800 . . . Young readers will be fascinated, perhaps even spurred to further investigate the facts behind the story." --Starred,Publishers Weekly "The illustrations, executed in textured paint strokes and rough, crosshatched lines, evoke the untamed freedom of a child who lives purely for himself. The page design heightens the emotional tension and moves the story forward." --Starred,School Library JournalGerstein, Mordicai is the author of 'Wild Boy Based on the True Story of the Wild Boy of Aveyron', published 2002 under ISBN 9780374483968 and ISBN 0374483965.
