STORYTELLING THROUGH PICTURES
Renata Liwska has been drawing for as long as she can remember. Her old schoolbooks overflowed with sketches and that has continued in her sketchbooks to this day. Renata starts a project by finding a quiet space in which to sketch, and then allowing the characters to do whatever their hearts desire. She follows her pencil to see where it goes and is often surprised and delighted where it leads her. Her books have been national bestsellers and are award winners including a Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators NY and nominations for three Governor Generals awards for Literacy for picture book illustration in Canada.
Coming October 10
From debut author Kelsey Gross and New York Times bestselling artist Renata Liwska comes a gentle and lulling picture book celebrating the magic of the Winter Solstice with a group of animal friends in a quiet forest.
Tonight is the longest night of the year—solstice is here! Deep in the forest, the dark, cold, and quiet of winter is all around. Owl, Mouse, and Deer all watch the light fades and dark surrounds them, but they have a gift of hope to share with their neighbors. The moon and stars shine down on a lone tree in the forest, and the animals gather around to bask in its light. Winter Solstice arrives as the winter sky brings magic for all to share.
