Ancient Thunder
Written and illustrated by Leo Yerxa
Winner of the Governor General’s Award for Illustration, Ancient Thunder celebrates wild horses and the natural world of the prairies. Using an extraordinary technique, Yerxa, an artist of Ojibway ancestry, makes paper look like leather, so that his illustrations seem to be painted on leather shirts. Years in the making, the book is truly a work of art.
