Twinkle, Twinkle, Winter Night by Megan Litwin and Nneka Myers - OPTIONAL

Twinkle, Twinkle, Winter Night by Megan Litwin, illustrated by Nneka Myers
. PICTURE BOOK. Clarion (Harper), 2022. 9780358572046 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

A black child and a parent figure wander through a wintery night, enjoying the sounds, sights, smells, and wonder of the season. 

Myers illustrations are sweet and eye-catching, but the text drags on forever - much too long to hold anyone’s attention. The text uses the original rhythm, but when it stumbles, it crashes hard. While I am happy to look at the pictures, I would not want to read this aloud - especially cold.
