Holly Meade (1956-2013) illustrated many picture books, including David Elliott’s On the Farm as well as the Caldecott Honor-winning Hush! A Thai Lullaby and its follow-up, Peek! A Thai Hide-and-Seek, both by Minfong Ho. Klappentext When nighttime creeps closer to suppertime, And red and gold seep into green leaves. . . . Then it's time to decide what to be.
