One Starry Night by Lauren Thompson
One starry night, a cow watches over her calf, a nanny goat watches over her kid, and a pig watches over her piglet. For this one moment, every family in the animal kingdom is peaceful, just like Mary and Joseph watching over their own newborn nearby.This simple yet profound book perfectly captures the universal nighttime vigil of parents everywhere while gently alluding to the presence of a nurturing creator who watches over all. Lauren Thompson is at her lyrical best, while Jonathan Bean's gorgeous, artisanal illustrations are the perfect match for this beautifully serene story of a truly Peaceable Kingdom.
LAUREN THOMPSON adored ballet class as a child, but she never had the opportunity to perform in a ballet recital. She drew inspiration for BALLERINA DREAMS from her own recollections as well as interactions with the girls, their parents, and Joann Ferrara, their teacher. Thompson spent eighteen years as a children's book editor before deciding to pursue writing full-time. POLAR BEAR NIGHT, a New York Times bestseller, as well as the MOUSE'S FIRST and LITTLE QUACK series, and, most recently, THE APPLE PIE THAT PAPA BAKED, are among her numerous picture books. Her spouse and son reside with her in Brooklyn, New York.
