Julie Larios
Who is half gallop, half walk? Who can turn you to stone with one look? Whose voice do you hear in the splash on the shore?
Centaurs, mermaids, and other curious creatures populate these wondrous poems and paintings, inspired by a mythological world full of imagination and mystery.
Includes end notes about cultures and legends.
Have you ever seen a yellow elephant, glowing in the jungle sun?
Have you seen a green frog—splash!—turn blue?
Or a red donkey throw a red-hot tantrum?
In this bright bestiary, poet Julie Larios and painter Julie Paschkis cast a menagerie of animals in brilliantly unexpected hues—encouraging us to see the familiar in surprising new ways.
