AlbakiReads Editorial

A woodland farm’s visitors

From the first light of day until moonrise, animals pass through a gap in a farm’s hedge, bringing its surroundings to life. Katey Howes shapes the picture book as a cumulative sequence, with the hedge, a slightly askew stone wall, and the deer’s passage forming recurring elements. Beth Krommes’s scratchboard illustrations accompany the changing hours and the animals’ visits. The book’s scope stays close to one small farm and the wildlife moving through it over a summer day.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in deer and other wildlife
  • Families seeking a picture book structured around a day from sunrise to moonrise
  • Young readers who enjoy cumulative storytelling and animal-centered books

Book overview

Two starred reviews!
"A visual and auditory delight." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Discover the wonder that wildlife brings to a small woodland farm in this "atmospheric...lilting" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) cumulative picture book with stunning scratchboard illustrations from Caldecott Medalist Beth Krommes.

This is the hedge that grew and grew.
The wall of stone a bit askew.
This is the gap where the deer slip through,
when the sky is still more pink than blue...

Throughout the course of a beautiful summer day, from sunrise to moonrise, a host of animals find their way through a gap in the hedge, bringing the farm to life.
