The Big Empty: a sagebrush survival story by Kirbi Fagan. PICTURE BOOK. Millbrook (Lerner), 2025. $20. 9798765627242

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL

APPEALS TO: SOME

With few words, Sagebrush gives us a look at the important role it plays in desert life. 

The back matter is where the information really is about sagebrush. The illustrations are very dramatic and landscape painting-like, but there is very little to hold onto within the text. In communities where sagebrush is a big part of the ecosystem, I could see it being useful.
