Leave Me Alone!

Image result for vera brosgol leave me alone Leave Me Alone! by Vera Brosgol is one of my new favorite picture books for 2016.  It's funny, original and has a great message.  The art is wonderful and jam packed with highly colorful detail. A must read for anyone who enjoys their space when working on projects--especially knitters and crocheters--introverts and grumpy ladies.

You may recognize Brosgol's art style from her graphic novel, Anya's Ghost, also a highly recommended read. She is definitely an illustrator to keep an eye on! For more Vera Brosgol, check out her website, it's lovely.

  • The shortest day

    by Susan Cooper

    A celebration of the winter solstice and the Yuletide season. As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again. Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper's poem "The Shortest Day" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before-- and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis with a universality that spans the centuries, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. Welcome Yule!

    Lofty, elegant, and achingly beautiful, Carson Ellis's illustrations are the perfect pairing for Susan Cooper's poem. Don't miss this true winter solstice celebration from and for the ages! -Casey
