About the Author
Marisabina Russo's warm, distinctive picture books usually mirror everyday scenarios from her own family's life. The Big Brown Box was inspired by her three children's tendency to entertain themselves—and each other—with common household objects (which included many a cardboard box).
Ms. Russo has written and illustrated many picture books for children, and has illustrated several by other authors. She and her husband and children live in Westchester County, New York.
Reviews
PreS?A reassuring story of a young girl and her father's weekly outing to an indoor pool. With coaxing, the child learns to float, kick, blow bubbles under water, and jump into the pool from the edge?"my kind of dive," she says. Youngsters who are afraid of the water will be encouraged by the story's gentle approach, and all will relate to the joy of a special time of sharing between parent and child. Russo's joyful, realistic gouache paintings enhance the warm and loving tone of the text.?Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

Ages 4^-6. A young girl tells what she likes to do with her dad at the swimming pool every Saturday: dog-paddle, float on her back, blow bubbles like a fish, kick, and "my kind of dive," which the illustrations show as reaching for her father's hands while she jumps, feet first, into the water. Gouache paintings with flat colors and simple patterns illustrate the text. There's little plot here and no tension, but that is just what parents will like about the story. It presents a simple, realistic view of learning to swim with a consistently upbeat, childlike tone. And although some may wonder why everyone in or out of the pool is smiling almost all the time, most children will probably be smiling, too. Carolyn Phelan
