With over 300 titles to her name, Jane Yolen simply couldn’t be more prolific!
Here she teams up with the whimsically fantastic illustrator Stéphane Jorisch who captures Yolen’s delight-filled father/daughter adventures as they meet dogs walking their owner, paint a room seven shades of blue, get up close and personal to curious fish, explore a field of flowers, sample colorful candies, and so much more.
“He points out everything we see / And teaches all the names to me,” the little girl thinks just as she drifts off to slumber land.
Yolen’s latest is a perfect way to end a special day, reading together all snuggled up with your favorite little (or big … no age or size discrimination here!) child, recounting the day’s adventures. Couldn’t be a cozier moment to decide together which blue – teal, azure, turquoise, cerulean, indigo, cobalt, or ultramarine – might be the most sleep-inducing blue of all …
By the way, this would make a really adorable Father’s Day gift … I know it’s a couple of months away, but never a bad thing to plan early (coming from a chronic procrastinator, ahem!).
