Awake Beautiful Child by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Awake Beautiful Child by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

From best-selling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal and award-winning artist Gracia Lam, a "delightful" read-aloud book about a child's day, told solely through words beginning with the first three letters of the alphabet. (The New York Times)



New York Times best-selling picture-book author Amy Krouse Rosenthal teams with award-winning artist Gracia Lam to tell the sweet, simple story of a young child's typical day?from morning to bedtime. Like the title, each scene is described in three-word "ABC" phrases, such as "All Begins Cheerily" and "Always Be Curious." Secret "ABC" scenes hidden throughout the artwork?as a secondary "seek and find" game of sorts?encourage multiple readings and reward close-looking. An ideal read-aloud book to read just after waking or just before bed.
