Description - Before Morning by Joyce Sidman

There are planes to fly and buses to catch, but a small child wishes for a different sort of day in this striking picture book. When clouds gather and heavy flakes begin to fall, her invocation comes true. As a too-busy world falls silent, a family revels in the freedom and peace of a snow day. In a spare text that reads as pure song and illustrations of astonishingly beautiful scratchboard art, Sidman and Krommes remind us that sometimes, if spoken from the heart, wishes really can come true. AUTHOR: Joyce Sidman received a Newbery Honor for Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night, and won NCTE's Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children. Visit her website at www.joycesidman.com. Beth Krommes received the Caldecott Medal for The House in the Night and has illustrated other acclaimed picture books. Visit her website at www.bethkrommes.com.
