"Wowww!"--- Raina Telgemeier, #1 NY Times, #1 USA Today, #1 Publishers Weekly bestselling author/illustrator "Herz presents a provocative and unique look at the lifecycle and benefits of smoke throughout the millennia. Lopez's multimedia artwork further illuminates the ethereal nature of smoke as it drifts and dances across the page."- John Rocco, NY Times Bestselling author and Caldecott Honoree A fascinating, refreshing, and beautifully atmospheric take on something often taken for granted. I'll never look at smoke the same way again!- Matthew Cordell, Caldecott Medalist author/illustrator "I Am Smoke is an absolutely beautiful book, where smoke is both poetry and science. Readers will rest, float, and dance along with smoke's quiet power across time and traditions. I have lingered over its pages more than once, and I'm sure young readers will, too."- NY Times Bestselling author Doreen Cronin Smoke itself acts as narrator, telling us how it has served humankind since prehistoric times in signaling, beekeeping, curing and flavoring food, religious rites, fumigating insects, and myriad other ways.
