The Night the Forest Came to Town

(3) PS Illustrated by Annie Wilkinson. Visited by a mysterious, swirling wind that disperses seeds, a barren town is transformed overnight into a lush ecosystem with growing plants and busy woodland creatures. Ghigna's smooth, rhyming verse is effectively complemented by Wilkinson's illustrations, which show the town first gray, then deep purple in the night, and finally in glorious, multicolored bloom come morning.
