Hush! A Thai Lullaby
illustrated by Holly Meade, written by Minfong Ho, and published by Melanie Kroupa/Orchard Books
About
91´«Ã½
A mother warns a crying mosquito, a leaping frog, and a swinging monkey not to wake her sleeping child in this gentle, cumulative bedtime story.
"Changing perspectives and a strong visual narrative move the action forward as the mother quiets each noisy animal in turn. A strong sense of composition and a soft earthy palette help support a vibrant visual text."
