Travel alongside the wildlife-loving author and his wife as he recounts the wildlife, culture, and history that they encountered in the West. The first-person narration, paired up with Arnosky's beautiful illustrations (a combo of acrylic paintings and soft pencil sketches) really help the West come alive. Animals, plants, and other objects that Jim didn't identify in-text are carefully labelled and there are also additional notes scattered throughout the book. There is also an activity in the back (he encourages readers to try recreating the gorgeous paintings "using your own favorite medium.").
