About the Book
Goodnight Songs: A Celebration of the Seasons
Written by Margaret Wise Brown
Illustrated by Peter Brown, Floyd Cooper, Leo Espinosa, Molly Idle, Ellie Mackay, Dadu Shin, David Small, Bob Staake, Frank Viva, Mick Wiggins, Satoe Tone and Blanca Gomez
Publisher’s Synopsis: Some fine day, just run away
To a long unscheduled day
To where great clouds go sailing by
Above the birds and butterfly.
Fluffy clouds, butterflies, furry bunnies, and life from a bug’s-eye view: This stunning sequel to the New York Times bestseller Goodnight Songs celebrates the beauty and wonder of nature all year long. Once again, a treasure trove of Margaret Wise Brown’s newly uncovered verses receives loving treatment from 12 award-winning artists, including Floyd Cooper, Peter Brown, David Small, Molly Idle, and Bob Staake. From a little bear singing one morning in May to a soft snowfall, mysterious, deep, and glowing, each song is magical.
An accompanying CD, with lilting songs beautifully composed and sung by Emily Gary and Tom Proutt, makes this the perfect gift for children.
Ages 3-6 | Publisher: Sterling Children’s Books | 2015 | ISBN-13: 978-1454904472
