Caldecott Medalist Ed Young’s latest, THE WEATHER’S BET published today with Philomel Books to some great reviews!
From Caldecott Medalist Ed Young comes a picture book retelling of Aesop’s fable The Wind and the Sun.
Once upon the sky, there were three powers–the Wind, the Rain, and the Sun–each claiming to be the mightier than the others. One day, the powers came upon a shepherd girl fast asleep upon a hill, so they made a bet to see who could make her take her cap off. Who will be the strongest of them all?
Rendered in exquisite mixed-media collage, Caldecott Medalist Ed Young’s gorgeous and deeply poignant retelling of the well-known Aesop’s fable The Wind and the Sun, proves that sometimes gentle persuasion and kindness are the best virtues of all.
