Synopsis "Summer"
Summer is a poetic, inspirational picture book about the power of kindness from two of China's most acclaimed creatorsand children will discover a surprise as they turn the pages!During a hot summer day in the grasslands, a group of animals race to claim the single spot of shadeunder one tiny leaf that clings to a branch. The animals fight until they are inspired by an act of love to offer shade to one another.Through lyrical text from Hans Christian Andersen Award winner Cao Wenxuan, the story comes alive with bright, delicate art from award-winning illustrator Yu Rong and provides a vivid introduction to animals. In the middle of the book, pages grow shorter and then longer to emphasize each selfless action and to remind children of the importance of sharing and being kind.An Imprint Book"An exquisitely calibrated fable, with a lyrically plainspoken voice, a vivid sense of atmosphere, and deftly choreographed moments of high drama and humor." Publishers Weekly (starred review)"As in fables of yesteryear, Cao holds a mirror to selfishness as well as to an individual's ability to transcend that tendency. Children will return often to enjoy the interactive opportunities and the harmony that prevails." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
