Children and adults remember the characters, plots, and drawings that, in a few short pages, transport us to another time and setting. In Blueberries for Sal, single-color dark blue illustrations take the reader to Blueberry Hill with Sal and her mother, and into close contact with a mother bear and her cub. The day starts with a loose tooth and includes interactions with sea creatures, clam digging, and a boat ride to Bucks Harbor and an ice-cream cone. In July , during a storm on Mount Katahdin, year-old Donn Fendler was separated from his family. The story was front-page news around the country as a manhunt was launched. Fendler survived nine days in the woods before finding a hunting camp in Stacyville. Barbara Cooney wrote and illustrated this story about a woman who travels the world, then lives by the sea.
