A sunny celebration about the growth of a sunflower

A child reflects on how a small, striped gray seed eventually becomes a strong, beautiful sunflower.

A young girl celebrates the name that was chosen just for her.

On a cold winter day, Rosie writes a letter to the lake where she loves to spend time during the summer.

The mysteries, surprises, and delights of the night are here celebrated in evocative style and variety. The art, like dreams themselves, is a kaleidoscope of evanescent images, seen wholly only at the final spread, like the old, old moon shining in our minds.
