On the Twelfth Day?

Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans by Kadir Nelson
In this work of nonfiction, a narrator tells the story of his family and how African Americans shaped our country. I have recommended this to several people and it is being praised by everyone who has read it.

This picture book keeps popping up and I saw it at my local bookstore, Skylight Books, last week but didn't pick it up. Darn it! It is said to be "a single, continuous thirty-five-foot-long piece of art using Adobe Illustrator." Very cool. Must check it out.

I wish I would have read this nearly-wordless book earlier because it seems like a perfect winter book to be wrapped up and placed under the tree for a little one. Alas, my time was limited. In this book, a child places her sled against her house and goes inside. Some sneaky wildlife then snatch the sled and take their own joy ride while she sleeps. Apparently the only words are the onomatopoeia. Grab this one for the new year!
