Some from the Moon, Some from the Sun: Poems and Songs for Everyone

As Margot Zemach tells us in her creative autobiography spread at the end of this marvelous collection, full of photos and drawings from her too short life, "Children deserve detail, color, and excellence...the best an author and illustrator can do. The pictures have to be made "real." The food should be food you'd really want to eat and the bed should look so cozy that you'd want to climb in right away." This collection of 26 simple, engaging poems, some familiar...Bingo, This Little Pig Went To Market, Sleep Baby Sleep, Star Light, Star Bright... and some new, are brought to life on the page by Ms Zemach's charming and inviting illustrations. Her signature pen and watercolor artwork sparkles, is rich in expressive detail, and complements each verse with color, humor, emotion, and fun. These are unique and intriguing paintings to savor and explore each time the book is opened. Perfect for cuddling preschoolers on laps on a quiet afternoon, or lulling little ones to sleep at bedtime, Some From The Moon Some From The Sun introduces Margot Zemach to a whole new audience, and is a gentle, cozy little treasure to be shared with friends and family now, and with future generations in the years to come.
