\"\"<\/a>With over 300 titles to her name, Jane Yolen<\/a> simply couldn’t be more prolific!<\/p>\n

Here she teams up with the whimsically fantastic illustrator St\u00e9phane Jorisch<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 teal, azure, turquoise, cerulean, indigo, cobalt, or ultramarine \u2013 might be the most sleep-inducing blue of all …<\/p>\n

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!). <\/p>\n
