FROM THE PUBLISHER - Come visit a faraway northern land and journey through time. Meet the young boy December - for him the days speed by. He's busy sending the wind to sweep the last leaves from the trees and lighting the lamps for the short winter days. All his life December has known no month other than his own. Then one stormy night the North Wind visits with tales of the promise of spring, visions of summer's bright fields, and stories of the autumn harvest, leaving December feeling strangely sad. Soon, though, the wind returns to send December on a glorious journey that will reveal untold wonders - March's swirling storms, June's lilting shepherd's pipes, and October's bountiful orchards and sweet-smelling fields of hay. And once home, December finds that nothing in his life will ever look quite the same. Dusan Kallay, who has twice received the coveted Golden Apple Award at Bratislava, makes his American picture book debut with December's Travels. His imaginative, richly layered illustrations together with Mischa Damjan's lyrical story create a world readers will want to return to again and again.� inventory #4343 ISBN: 0803702574.
