B IS FOR BETHLEHEM
by Isabel Wilner, illustrations by Elisa Kleven. A Nativity themed alphabet book that was originally written for second graders to perform as a program. The rhyming text, written in couplets is sweet -N is for Night, so quiet, so still.
Peace in the stable. Peace on the hill.
- but the vibrant, richly textured illustrations with mixed-media collages of watercolor, cut paper, and fine lines in folk-art style, are what really makes this out-of-print book worth searching for (used, or at your local library).
SNOWSONG WHISTLING
, by Karen Lisa Lotz, is another book beautifully illustrated with Elisa Kleven. The rhyme and mixed media pictures are a celebration of the sight, sounds, and smells of winter (also out of print).
You can click here for my post "Down by the Bay", where I highlighted a third book (this time about San Francisco) illustrated by Elisa.
Be sure to visit Elisa Kleven's website to see all her books and original artwork.
