(3) PS Illustrated by Anna Grossnickle Hines. Concise text and unusually expressive appliqué quilts complement each other perfectly to tell a moving story. A father and son are camping at water's edge, and before dawn the boy wakes. Text and art convey his anticipation, and it slowly becomes clear that what he hopes to do is whistle the sun up, along with his dad. An illustrator's note about making the quilts is appended.
