Blooming Beneath the Sun

Blooming Beneath the Sun
by Christina Rossetti (Author) and Ashley Bryan (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Ashley Bryan hand-selected a collection of celebrated English poet Christina Rossetti’s classic nursery rhymes to illustrate. Here is the poem for the cover art:

Snippet:
The Peacock Has a Score of Eyes
The peacock has a score of eyes,
With which he cannot see;
The cod-fish has a silent sound
However that might be;

No dandelions tell the time,
Although they turn to clocks;
Cat’s-cradle does not hold the cat,
Nor foxglove fit the fox.

Booktalk: Adjusting to life in a new city is tough. When a young boy moves from the countryside, everyone around him seems so unfriendly. Lonely and homesick, he sits on a bench outside his new apartment block and watches the busy urban lives going on behind the lit windows. Gradually he begins to interact with the people around him, and ends up making a whole host of new friends.
