Simon Smith Wow! This book is absolutely top-drawer. “Driftwood Days” by William Miniver and the utterly brilliant Charles Vess is a beautiful delicate story of cyclical change, seasons, ecology and environment. The sublime art and poetic words make it a just breathtaking. #picturebookpage https://t.co/m0bF00gOX8 (Source)
