At age six Thomas Locker was discovered and given an apprentice training in traditional European oil painting by painter Alberto Romano. His family then moved to Washington . where his father worked as a lobbyist, and where, at age seven, he won first prize in the children's division of the Washington Times Herald art fair. He also illustrated books for other popular writers such as Jean Craighead George. The Boy Who Held Back the Sea. Home: A Journey through America. Family Farm (Picture Puffins). Sailing with the Wind.

This picture book for older readers is not only a good story but also has beautiful illustrations to aid in the story’s telling. The book tells the story about the mare and how she eventually comes down from the hill. This is a book I would recommend for a little bit of an older reader. The illustrations are very focused on landscapes while the characters play a smaller part in acting out the story. This would be a great book for fourth and some fifth graders and could be very easily used in a lesson on seasons. While young children might enjoy the story and pictures, I think older children would be able to understand the concepts in the book a bit better.
