Joseph Helgerson

    L'écriture de Joseph Helgerson est imprégnée de l'esprit de la vallée du Mississippi, où il a passé ses années de formation. Sa vie précoce, entrelacée avec la présence de la rivière, a favorisé une profonde connexion avec ses paysages et son folklore. Cette fascination durable pour le flux et le reflux de la rivière, ses mystères et ses récits, continue d'informer sa voix littéraire. Il vit maintenant près des mêmes eaux qui ont si profondément façonné son monde imaginaire.

      A time-traveling woolly mammoth finds refuge and rescue at the unlikely hands of a possum and his community of woodland friends in this humorous middle grade for fans of The Secret Lake and The Wild Robot. Features charming black-and-white interior illustrations by Udayana Lugo. When a furry, four-legged beast from the distant past appears in their park, the local animals are concerned about unwanted attention from humans. Gilly the Possum, assistant to raccoon Mayor Crawdaddy, is tasked with figuring out where the lost galumpus came from . . . and how to get him home again. While Gilly and the Mayor don't agree on much, they can agree on one thing: with a huge blizzard rolling in, the galumpus needs their help, no matter where he came from. This laugh-out-loud illustrated adventure has the whole woodland community in Theodore Wirth Park considering the best way to welcome a newcomer--and what generosity in the face of unthinkable circumstances can mean.
