This is simply the most charming wee little book I have seen in ages.
It was in the little book section of the Lake Placid Library. I love the little book section. Every time I go, I check out half the books.
Delicate and airy illustrations
And this isn't even a story! It is a song. The whole entire book is music notes.
I played it on the piano, because duh... how else will I know how to sing it? And it is a wandery, slightly minor tune that seems so gentle and yearning.
And do you see that fancy castle in the background? It is a Russian castle of course. Because look at the words--"I will sing for you my russian lullaby."
How adorable is a tiny little watercolor singing book?
The lyrics are not too complex--bears and many other animals are sleeping.
Snow is piling high
And there is the Russian castle again.
Such a quirky little book! Totally made my week.
