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. Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper’s poem \"The Shortest Day\" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before — and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis with a universality that spans the centuries, 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.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWelcome Yule!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-link-wrap opened\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"scnd-detail\" class=\"product-author-also-by\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"slot-header\"\u003ePRODUCT DETAILS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix isbn-related 9781623542696 show\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ws-nw isbn-row\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover | \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished by Candlewick\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ws-nw\"\u003eOct 22, 2019\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ws-nw\"\u003e| 32 Pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ws-nw\"\u003e| 10-1\/4 x 9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ws-nw\"\u003e| 5-9 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e| ISBN 9780763686987\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"more-link-wrap opened\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"slot-header subtitle\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"slot-header subtitle\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seemoreenable\" id=\"seemore-0\" height-fold=\"280\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Cooper\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the recipient of the Margaret A.
