Description
|
|
|
|
Elegantly illustrated with linoleum block prints in soft browns, greens, and blacks to portray a deep and mysterious night, this book for youngsters up to 7 is a fantasy about a young witch just learning to fly on a broom. Alison McGhee's lyrical text is in the form of the sestina—an old style of poetry that originated with French troubadours in the 12th century—and leaves it up to the reader to decide whether the girl, dressed as a Halloween witch, imagines her flight or actually takes to the air. "This sophisticated picture book is rich with imagination.... More personal, quiet, and transcendent than most Halloween books, this is not a call to witchcraft, but rather to following one's heart."—Booklist "The effortless quiet of McGhee's words is beautifully matched by [Taeeun] Yoo's pictures.…There's more than enough magic in these pages ... for young readers and for their parents, who might otherwise give up on finding anything truly enchanting about Halloween."—NYTBR
