One starry night, a cow watches over her calf, a nanny goat
watches over her kid, and a pig watches over her piglet. For this
one moment, every family in the animal kingdom is peaceful, just
like Mary and Joseph watching over their own newborn nearby. This
simple yet profound book perfectly captures the universal nighttime
vigil of parents everywhere while gently alluding to the presence
of a nurturing creator who watches over all of us.
Lauren Thompson is at her lyrical best, while Jonathan Bean''s
rich illustrations are the perfect match for this beautifully
serene story of a truly Peaceable Kingdom.
關於作者：
Kay Thompson 1909-1998 was a singer, dancer, vocal arranger,
and coach of many MGM musicals in the 1940s.
The Eloise character grew out of the voice of a precocious
six-year-old that Miss Thompson put on to amuse her friends.
Collaborating with Hilary Knight on what was an immediate
bestseller, Kay Thompson became a literary sensation when Eloise
was published in 1955. The book has sold more than two million
copies to date. Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight created four more
Eloise books, Eloise in Paris, Eloise at Christmas, Eloise in
Moscow, and Eloise Takes a Bawth.Hilary Knight, son of
artist-writers Clayton Knight and Katharine Sturges, was educated
at the Art Students League, where he studied with Reginald Marsh.
Besides the Eloise books, Hilary Knight has illustrated more than
fifty books for children, six of which he wrote himself.
He lives and works in New York City, not far from The Plaza
Hotel.
