Rhyming text and collage-style mixed-media art accompany this exploration of light and its role in the living world.

Dawn: Watch the World AwakenMarc Martin, illustrated by Marc MartinAs sunrise gradually brightens the world, small scenes of nature unfold. A deer drinks, an owl wakes, a ladybug climbs, a fish jumps, and birds gather into calls and flight formations. Plants, clouds, flowers, and the sky also change with the arriving light. Brief words and panels follow these quiet actions, tracing the passage from darkness into a new day and the life that becomes visible with it.Picture BooksOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
