Snook Alone

BY MARILYN NELSON, TIMOTHY BASIL ERRING

Brief Description:
Abba Jacob is a monk who lives on a far, far away island with his loyal rat terrier, Snook. Every day, from the wee hours of dawn till the sun sets over the sea, Snook keeps Abba Jacob company as he prays or works, tending the gardens of the little hermitage he calls home. But when the two are separated by a storm, Snook must learn to fend for himself in the wild, all alone in a world of fierceness and wonder. Simply and lyrically told by award-winning poet Marilyn Nelson and beautifully illustrated by Timothy Basil Ering with wit, warmth, and affection for the natural world, this captivating tale of friendship lost and found conveys the power of faith against all odds.
