FOX WALKED ALONE
by Barbara Reid

Everyone knows the story of Noah and the Ark. But how did all the animals get there? Travel with Fox as he joins the bears, the leopards, the ravens and the doves — more creatures and more — on an amazing journey. Where are they all going? No one knows. Until they arrive at their special destination.

“Picture book illustration can, at its finest, transport you right into the heart of a story’s emotion and momentum. How anyone can achieve that transmogrification with the lumpish medium of Plasticine is an artistic mystery. Toronto-based artist Barbara Reid obviously owns the key: in Fox Walked Alone, an oblique approach to the story of Noah’s ark, Reid has created her masterpiece.” – Quill & Quire, starred review

“Reid is a master, and one could argue that this is her most impressive effort yet. [Fox Walked Alone] is nothing short of incredible... the superb quality of the artwork is maintained from front cover to back and includes everything in between... How does she do it?!? Quite simply, Barbara Reid is a unique and superb talent. This book shows that she is at the height of her genius.” – Canadian Review of Materials
