{"product_id":"sound-of-snow-falling-9781937541149","title":"Sound of Snow Falling","description":"\u003cp\u003eA paint and paper documentary  observing great horned owls in their natural habitat.  Mesmerizing is the only word that works to describe Maggie Umbers new graphic novel Sound of Snow Falling. Well  enchanting works too. As in nature  the more you look  the more you see. A third viewing reveals story lines Id missed in the first two. Umbers minimalist paintings manage to convey  in three colors  the beauty  ferocity  devotion  and sheer heart of a pair of great horned owls bringing three chicks into the world. Im taken by the economy of line and rightness of gesture in these deceptively simple paintings.\" Julie Zickefoose  author \u0026amp; illustrator of Baby Birds: An Artist Looks Into the Nest  The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birds  and Letters from Eden: A Year at Home  In the Woods  Umber beautifully uses comic form to take the reader through intimate movements in nature\" Aidan Koch  author of After Nothing Comes  Maggie Umbers work is simultaneously a breathless  quiet stretch and an enormous  orchestral voice. I dont know anyone else who can create such volume through silence.\" Sarah Ferrick  author of Yours  Sound of Snow Falling is a graphic novel done in a poetic documentary mode. In this unique work  the reader becomes a voyeur of the natural world  following a great horned owl family through the dead of winter. Extensively researched and expressively painted  Sound of Snow Falling is a triumph of the comics form. Maggie Umber is a cartoonist and associate publisher at 2dcloud. Sound of Snow Falling is her second graphic novella.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44940371165237,"sku":"ByrdShop_1937541142","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781937541149.jpg?v=1787597748","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sound-of-snow-falling-9781937541149","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
