The extraordinarily told, one-of-a-kind story of legendary author and children's book icon Ruth Krauss
Born
a baby
late at night
there's no parade
just crashing rain
She listens listens
writes and draws
stitches pages
sews a book
She finds another way
to tell a tale
This unique picture book biography provides a mesmerizing look at the life of children's writer Ruth Krauss (1901-1993), best known for books such as “The Carrot Seed”, “A Hole is to Dig”, and “A Very Special House”. With an imaginative, spontaneous text from Carter Higgins that pays homage to Krauss's distinctive voice, and Isabelle Arsenault's exquisite illustrations that evoke a childlike sense of wonder, “A Story Is to Share” is a tribute to storytelling and creativity of all kinds.
