A mood piece offering a gentle meditation on connections in the natural world and in human experience, too."--The Horn Book<br><br>"The dance of words and pictures is lovely . . . The creative use of language and accessible, pleasing imagery will lead to rereadings, which in turn, will inspire listeners to invent their own playful verses."--School Library Journal<br><br>"A gentle literary frolic whose creativity and tight patterning will make it a repeatable favorite for youngsters. . . . Adults and young audiences alike will be charmed by the verses and embrace this new approach to bedtime; call it read."--BCCB<br><br>"Dramatic artwork and clever verse combine in a book that will pique young listeners' imaginations. . . . The wordplay is fun, and the beautifully bold acrylic paintings have intense child-appeal."--Booklist<br><br>"Each stanza of this lilting poem imagines a pair of partners in the natural world--winter and spring, thunder and cloud--and gives them the power to speak and to name each other. . . . The word <i>love</i> never appears in Fogliano's text, but it can be felt on every page."--Publishers Weekly<br><br>"Fogliano uses surprising connections to telegraph love with frequently unexpected results . . . [Her] choice to eschew the subjunctive mood makes the comparisons seem tantalizingly possible. Jewel-toned images full of light, formed by sumptuous acrylic paints, bring the distant near and the miniscule close. Gentle on ear and eye, a keen display of relationships bound together in love and complexity."--Kirkus Reviews<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Julie Fogliano is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>And Then It's Spring </i>and <i>If You Want to See a Whale </i>as well as the poetry collection <i>When Green Becomes Tomatoes</i> and the picture books <i>If I Was the Sunshine</i>, <i>My Best Friend</i>, and <i>When's My Birthday</i>.
