The Sound of Day, the Sound of Night

A family gets ready to greet a new baby

As a father helps his children get ready for school, the busy sounds of day unfold:

Bus honks and bells,

Dishes and shoes,

Whirring of tires and

Crackle of news ...

Then night falls and the sounds are different:

Wind singing,

Sometimes rain

Slapping leaves on

Windowpane ...

But this is no ordinary day — or night. Listening to the clock tick, this family is waiting for something exciting to happen — and it does, when a new baby arrives.

Rich, playful paintings combine with lyrical language to tell a warm, vibrant story of family.
