Book SynopsisSo the shortest day came, and the year died...As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again...

Richly illuminated by Carson Ellis, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. Welcome Yule!Trade ReviewCooper’s poem is transformed into a highly atmospheric picture book thanks to Ellis’ illuminating art. A celebration of winter and the return of light, for readers of any or no faith. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
