In the Dark By Kate Hoefler & Illustrated by Corinna Luyken

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With striking illustrations that will make your soul fly and spare text that will make your heart dance, this lyrical picturebook encourages us to set aside our snap judgements and quiet our fears of the unknown by shining light on what has been kept in the dark.
They came in the dark,
and took the narrow path
that only witches used.

Everyone said that's what they were . . .
But what if everyone was wrong? Watch what happens when one girl steps into the woods and gets to know these newcomers. The spooky black cat? Meet Mingus! The broomsticks and cloaks? Cloth and wooden handles. And those shadows in the sky? Handmade kites, fluttering in the breeze.

When the breeze becomes a blustery storm, everything changes...including first impressions.

Told from two perspectives, here is a gentle and timely reminder that all it takes to bridge the gap of misunderstanding and fear between people is an open and willing heart.

Editorial Reviews

07/31/2023

Via a perspective-oriented picture book that's printed to flip vertically, the creators delicately explore a community divided. On upper pages, Hoefler's conversational text introduces a woods, and figures within, as they're seen by members of an external community ("They came in the dark and took the narrow path that only witches used. Everyone said that's what they were"). Glimpses of action unfolding within the forest, meanwhile, are rendered on bottom pages, narrated by a pale-skinned child who's part of the group being whispered about (" It was a woods full of birds"). Inky multimedia images by Luyken offer a limited view into the woodland, where greens, purples, and yellows hint at the true occurrences taking place. Slowly, readers come to understand the alternate meaning behind the broom-like objects transported, the nighttime bonfire, and the "dark shapes flying over the ridge," whose silhouettes resemble those of Halloween witches. With genuine emotion, the creators cleverly portray both the split community, and the whisperers' remorse when they learn they are mistaken. Human figures are portrayed with various skin tones. Ages 3-7. (Aug.)

Publishers Weekly

2023-05-24
Prejudice collides with neighborly goodwill when love and truth overcome superstition.

"They came in the dark and took the narrow path that only witches used. Everyone said that's what they were." A suspicious text laden with ill will and shadowy scratch-lined art full of foreboding imagery fills the top half of the page. On the bottom half, however, a different narrative takes place. The top is told from the perspective of villagers who eye the people in the woods with suspicion bordering on outright accusation ("They brought cloaks and brooms-so many brooms"), while the bottom half is a gentle counterpart (" We brought cloth and wooden handles"). Turns out, the people in the woods are constructing beautiful bird kites to fly. And when harsh winds tear away those kites, the now remorseful villagers bring supplies of their own to help the people of the woods fly their birds again. Certainly the resolution to the conflict between the two groups comes with unrealistic ease, so the true lures here are the art and design. The split pages, containing two conversations at once, require a certain level of sophistication on the part of young readers. Meanwhile, Luyken imbues her art with a palette of blacks, greens, purples, and golds that hint at more than just misunderstandings in the shadows. Characters are diverse.(This book was reviewed digitally.)

A marvelous mix of autumnal spirits with a deeper call for understanding. (Picture book. 6-9)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Acclaimed as the Children's Book of the Year, a captivating tale that cultivates empathy, nurtures self-confidence, and inspires an attitude of appreciation in young minds.

Help foster empathy, emotional intelligence, and social skills by introducing children to diverse perspectives, experiences, and a sense of gratitude for the blessings in their lives.

Join Sophie, a young girl whose world was previously limited to the captivating glow of her iPad. This changes dramatically when she embarks on an extraordinary journey to the mesmerizing land of India, a place she knows only from storybooks.

She encounters children from a humble mud colony in India's vibrant, colourful expanse. These children, despite their scarcity of possessions, carry an abundant joy that confounds and fascinates Sophie. Their deep-seated gratitude for life's little treasures ignites a spark in Sophie, setting her on a path of transformative self-discovery and wanting to make a difference in the world.

Children Who Dance in the Rain is more than just a story―it's an intimate journey of self-realization and growth. What Sophie unravels in this enchanting land could change not just her perspective, but also how you perceive your world.

In this enchanting tale, Sophie's transformation is profound. She learns to acknowledge and appreciate her own blessings―loving parents, a safe environment, and abundant resources. Sophie's journey is a testament that happiness isn't hinged on having 'more' but on the value we assign to what we already have.

Sophie's journey helps us understand that our true wealth isn't measured by material possessions but by the gratitude we hold in our hearts. Through a revelation that opens her eyes wide, Sophie discovers that life extends far beyond the confines of her iPad screen. She harnesses a newfound confidence, realizing she has the potential to do so much more, to make a real difference in the world.

True to one of its core themes about giving back, 100% percent of net proceeds from every fourth copy of Children Who Dance in the Rain will go to charities such as Save The Children, GiveWell and Bright Sparks School in Mohali, India, who are dedicated to providing educational opportunities for underprivileged children.

Uri Shulevitz (urishulevitz.com) is a Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator and author. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, on February 27, 1935. He began drawing at the age of three and, unlike many children, never stopped. The Warsaw blitz occurred when he was four years old, and the Shulevitz family fled. For eight years they were wanderers, arriving, eventually, in Paris in 1947. There Shulevitz developed an enthusiasm for French comic books, and soon he and a friend started making their own.

At thirteen, Shulevitz won first prize in an all-elementary-school drawing competition in Paris's 20th district. In 1949, the family moved to Israel, where Shulevitz worked a variety of jobs: an apprentice at a rubber-stamp shop, a carpenter, and a dog-license clerk at Tel Aviv City Hall. He studied at the Teachers' Institute in Tel Aviv, where he took courses in literature, anatomy, and biology, and also studied at the Art Institute of Tel Aviv. At fifteen, he was the youngest to exhibit in a group drawing show at the Tel Aviv Museum. At 24 he moved to New York City, where he studied painting at Brooklyn Museum Art School and drew illustrations for a publisher of Hebrew books.

One day while talking on the telephone, he noticed that his doodles had a fresh and spontaneous look-different from his previous illustrations. This discovery was the beginning of Uri's new approach to his illustrations for The Moon in My Room, his first book, published in 1963. Since then he was written and illustrated many celebrated children's books.

He won the Caldecott Medal for The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship, written by Arthur Ransome. He has also earned three Caldecott Honors, for The Treasure, Snow and How I Learned Geography. His other books include One Monday Morning, Dawn, So Sleepy Story, and many others. He also wrote the instructional guide Writing with Pictures: How to Write and Illustrate Children's Books. He lives in New York City.

This is a book report format that I created for use with my third graders. Some concepts included in the report are fiction/nonfiction, realism/fantasy, character, setting, vocabulary, author's purpose, theme, plot, reading response. Used this with my group and they ABSOLUTELY LOVE doing book reports now.

I've been writing and illustrating picture books for children for over twenty-five years. Though I majored in art in college, at the time I wasn't sure what kind of artist to be. Fortunately, it turned out that combining words and art to create picture books was a perfect career for me. Most of my books center around a particular topic such as fractions, the solar system, writing, and other math, science, and language arts curriculum content. The characters and story lines help to put the subject matter into a meaningful context for young readers.

After growing up mostly in Delaware, I moved to central Florida in the mid 1980s and currently live with my husband Andy on a three acre property with hawks, herons, and horses (the horses live next door.) We love the rustle of the pine needles in the breeze, the screeching of sandhill cranes flying overhead, and the chattering of many small birds that come and go as they please.
