Description
The Shortest Day by Susan Cooper As the sun sets on the shortest day of the year, a sense of community and tradition comes alive. People gather to prepare for the long night ahead, building fires and lighting candles to bring their own light to the darkness. This poignant poem, written for a theatrical production, captures the magic of the winter solstice and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis, this beautifully crafted book evokes the joy and connection found in celebrating light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. The universality of the poem and the artwork spans the centuries, making it a treasured seasonal treasure for all ages.
