The rhythms of a young girl"s life, as she moves between her mother"s country home and her father"s city apartment, are perfectly captured in this beautifully illustrated early concept book. Durga Bernhard manages to seamlessly blend a simple book of opposites and an exploration of city and country life, with the deeper story of a girl finding her place in the two new homes her parents have created for her. No matter where she is, or how different the environments are, it is clear that both homes are filled with love. The deceptively simple text is the perfect counterpoint to the richly detailed and innovatively designed gouche illustrations. Thoughtful and energetic, To & Fro, Fast & Slow takes a gentle look at divorce and pays tribute to any child who lives in two worlds.
