A Starlit Snowfall
A Starlit Snowfall | Nancy Willard
1 post | 1 read
"My cave is big enough for two!" a bear declares to a rabbit, inviting his small friend to share his den through the longest, coldest season. The rabbit readily accepts the bear's offer, but no sooner have the two curled up than the lively rabbit jumps up to wonder: Wouldn't it be better to be out in the crisp winter air, free to leap through the starlight and the sparkling snow? In this paperback reissue of a long out-of-print winter tale (originally titled A Starlit Somersault Downhill), Caldecott Medal winner Jerry Pinkney's rich watercolors create a cozy winter world that perfectly complements Newbery Medal winner Nancy Willard's charming poetry.

#SpringSkies day 9: #SetInSnowIce. While I am not usually a fan of rhyming verse in children‘s books, Pinkney‘s luminous illustrations make me want to reach out and touch the fur on bear‘s back and rabbit‘s belly. I could also sense rabbit‘s impatience, his sense of confinement, and desire to “somersault downhill” and taste the snow on his tongue. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-6Ln
