Book Description
for Sky Magic by Lee Bennett Hopkins and Mariusz Stawarski
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Poems about the sun—rising, shining, setting—and about the moon and stars comprise this soothing picture book anthology. A thoughtful arrangement begins with sun poems and moves on to poems about the night sky, with Ashley Bryan’s lovely “Song” seamlessly marking the transition: “Sing to the sun / It will listen / And warm your words … Sing to the moon / It will listen / And soothe your cares…” Exquisite shades of gold, indigo, and violet distinguish the illustrations and make a striking visual backdrop for the words of this comforting and quietly inspired collection. (Ages 4–8)
