I cannot WAIT to buy this for the BookNiece… who is all of six months old now, and doesn’t need me buying ahead – but I LOVE all that I’ve read/seen/heard about this one – it’s so gorgeous. And how many books do we get to read about being still in a world that moves around us, and being what we are?
story by Daniel Bernstrom with pictures by Brendan Wenzel is a read aloud treasure. It’s a triumphant entry in the folklore family sure to be requested repeatedly. I know listeners are going to be joining in with the repetitious phrases. Can’t you just see this performed as a reader’s theater? I know I can.
