<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>As winter nears, Silli wants wool to knit a sweater but the "sheep" he finds are actually stones, so getting them home and sheared will be a challenge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>For fans of </b><b><i>Sophie's Squash</i></b><b> and other super-silly picture books, here is the endearing story of a man named Silli who tries to tame the wind in ridiculous ways.</b></b> <p/>Silli lives in the middle of a meadow, in the open air. One morning, a gust of wind pays a visit--<i>brrrr!</i> What if the wind comes to stay? If only Silli could find some sheep, he'd have wool to knit a sweater to keep him warm. Luckily, he spots five large sheep up on a hill--perfect! It's just too bad they're resistant to herding and their wool is incredibly hard. But when Silli leans against them, they block the wind and keep him warm. . . . Perhaps he can build a shelter made of sheep? And so he resourcefully arranges his sturdy sheep (which are actually sheep-shaped rocks) into a little hut, and is finally warm and dry. This charming story--crafted in the tradition of folkloric characters who are well-meaning, likeable, and also a bit ridiculous--is sure to have a ton of kid appeal.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>A fresh and funny story</b> of a good-natured soul who marches--with perseverance and gusto--to his own drummer. --<i>Kirkus Reviews, </i>starred review <p/>"All readers will be charmed by the earnest Silli's perseverance, in <b>a tale that celebrates nonsense while skillfully keeping children in the know</b>." --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Tiffany Stone</b> has published five books for children, including <i>Rainbow Shoes, </i> a finalist for the BC Book Prize's Christie Harris Illustrated Children's Literature Prize, and her work was praised as being consistently surprising and equally delightful in a <i>Kirkus </i>starred review. www.tiffanystone.ca <p/><b>Louis Thomas</b> graduated from Gobelins in Paris and Calarts in Los Angeles.
