A folktale about care for a shared natural wonder

Two sisters live alongside a geyser that warms their home, in a landscape of moss and mist. When a growing village begins using the geyser as a place to discard garbage, the folktale turns toward the consequences of treating a natural resource as limitless. The sisters’ relationship with the land, its animals, and the geyser frames a story about how human choices affect the places communities depend on. Micha Archer’s layered, boldly colored collage illustrations are part of the book’s presentation of this Arctic Circle setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in folktales and nature-centered stories.
  • Families and educators looking for a picture book that opens discussion about caring for the environment.

Book overview

Two sisters live in harmony with and protect a geyser in this modern folktale woven together through luminous collage art from a Caldecott Honor winner.

On an island of moss and mist, two sisters coexist with the land, its animals, and a geyser that generously warms their home. But as the nearby village grows, people begin tossing their garbage into the geyser ... without considering the consequences. Soon, the geyser must find a way to stop them, and the result is a reminder the village will never forget.

This lyrical tale with intricately layered and boldly colored collage illustrations by Caldecott Honoree Micha Archer gives fresh voice to an ever-important message about protecting nature's wonders.
