Grand Canyon《大峡谷》是获奖图书2018年凯迪克银奖的儿童绘本。

河流在地球上蜿蜒流过，在数百万年的时间里侵蚀侵蚀着土壤，在地面上形成了一个277英里长、18英里宽、1英里深的洞穴，这就是众所周知的大峡谷。千百年来，科罗拉多大峡谷是各种各样的动植物的家园，它们在大峡谷的岩壁中生存和进化。

跟随绘本里的人物，他们通过他们的方式通过洞穴的奇迹，发现现在和过去的生活。在时间的流逝中穿梭，展示了化石就是很久以前的生物，只是在一个完全不同的环境中。

全彩大开本印刷、，还附有一张复杂的地图。

Rivers wind through earth, cutting down and eroding the soil for millions of years, creating a cavity in the ground 277 miles long, 18 miles wide and more an a mile deep known as the Grand Canyon.

Home to an astonishing variety of plants and animals that have lived and evolved within its walls for millennia, the Grand Canyon is much more than just a hole in the ground. Follow a father and daughter as they make their way through the cavernous wonder, discovering life both present and past.

Weave in and out of time as perfectly placed die cuts show you that a fossil today was a creature much long ago, perhaps in a completely different environment. Complete with a spectacular double gatefold, an intricate map and extensive back matter.
