Review
“It takes a lot of work to achieve that realism on the page while still evoking the grace of these creatures, and Sound Of Snow Falling shows how the comic-book medium can reveal the finer details of the natural world.” – Oliver Sava, The A.V. Club “There’s no need for unnecessary exposition here as Umber’s subtle but expressive visuals tell us all we need to know. This silence emphasises the reader’s role as observer, always that one step back from a world we can never truly be a participant in.” – Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier ”Mesmerizing is the only word that works to describe Maggie Umber’s new graphic novel Sound of Snow Falling. Well, “enchanting” works too. As in nature, the more you look, the more you see. A third viewing reveals story lines I’d missed in the first two. Umber’s minimalist paintings manage to convey, in three colors, the beauty, ferocity, devotion, and sheer heart of a pair of great horned owls bringing three chicks into the world. I’m taken by the economy of line and rightness of gesture in these deceptively simple paintings."― Julie Zickefoose, author & illustrator of Baby Birds: An Artist Looks Into the Nest, The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birds, and Letters from Eden: A Year at Home, In the Woods
