The Shortest Day - Susan Cooper & Carson Ellis


The winter solstace may not be until next week but this beautiful book - The Shortest Day - is just perfect for reading with children as the daylight dwindles and we head to the longest night.
Written for the theatre, this meandering poem explores the celebration of light, and the cyclical patterns of the seasons through the year, while also celebrating how we value the rituals and traditions of dance, music and singing and song at the very moment when the our world seems at its darkest.
With absolutely stunning illustrations this is definitely a book to have in the bookcase x
