“Dawn is a feeling
A beautiful ceiling
The smell of grass
Just makes you pass
Into a dream”
-- The Moody Blues (1967)
“What sound is morning?
Lights click on,
a cat softly creeps
a baby babbles
wind whispers in leaves.”
Are you a morning person? I am! Sometimes the dawn is a step ahead of me, but oftentimes I’m the one with the head start on the day.
Saturated in early morning shades of gold, rose, indigo, mauve, and mint, WHAT SOUND IS MORNING? is a poetic celebration of the early morning sounds you might hear if you focus your attention and listen.
Clanking garbage trucks; sprinklers hissing on summer lawns; frogs croaking in a stream; a man hollering toward the pulling-away bus he just missed. There is playfulness in the collection of sounds that author/illustrator Grant Snider has woven into this lyrical picture book.
WHAT SOUND IS MORNING? concludes with a call to:
“...greet the new day
with a stretch and a yawn
throw open the window
and fill the world
with your song.”
A lovely read-aloud for morning circle.
