WHEN GIANTS COME TO PLAY By Andrea Beaty Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes Abrams Books for Young Readers ISBN-13: 978-0810957596 August 2006
“Sometimes on a summer morning, when the sun shines just so and the wind blows like this and like that on its way to somewhere else, giants come to play. They come to play with Anna who waits for them just beyond the end of Lillian Lane.” Thus begin the adventures of Anna and the giants who spend a summer day playing catch by the gnarled oak, picking peaches on the hillside, and dangling their toes in the cool shady pond until their shadows grow long and sleepy.
Kevin Hawkes’ illustrations perfectly capture the whimsy and wonder of these giant adventures. |
