The Day Artists (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780764371936)

When golden brushstrokes glaze over the last trace of night,
the day artists gather to perform.

Dew drops sparkle on sweet-smelling grass.
Brilliant sunbeams fill the stage.

A delightful companion to The Night Artists, this creative nonfiction picture book presents birds, insects, and animals as artists in an enchanting show. The robin is the maestro, and wrens, blue jays, cardinals, bumblebees, katydids, and others join together to create beautiful harmony.
