One of the fathers of the American environmental movement, Henry David Thoreau has touched generations of readers with Walden, a memoir that fused the beauty, power and subtlety of nature into eloquent prose. Now, Henry David's House presents Thoreau's thoughts in a picture-book format aimed at readers ages 5-9. The book couples excerpts from Walden--such as "A slight sound at evening lifts me up by the ears, and makes life seem inexpressibly grand"--with oil and watercolor paintings by Peter Fiore.
