Overview
Is the night sky filled with stars, or are they really silver seeds? When you see fall leaves floating down from trees, could they be little brown parachutes? Maybe the moon is really a melon and your shadow is a silent friend. The lyrical poems and luminous illustrations in this stellar collection will stretch readers' imaginations. Can you believe what you see?
Illustrated by Steve Johnson and Lou Francher.

Publishers Weekly
"A progression of paintings capture an uncanny likeness to the shifting light during the course of a single day," said PW in a starred review. "The chronology of the poems flows as smoothly as the passing of time. A dazzling example of how poetry can prompt readers to view ordinary experiences through fresh eyes." Ages 3-8. (Mar.)
