Awhile ago, I came across
this video on the Barefoot Books Blog. As I watched and listened I was
completely enthralled with this presentation of Starlight Sailor. I felt like I had
just stepped into something very magical. I had already loved this book because of Jackie Morris'
gorgeous illustrations, but now after listening it has taken on a new closeness
for me. The tour of the yurt and the storyteller's voice are amazing.
James Mayhew's lyrical lines seem like they are gently floating
on water along with the whales, turtles, mermaids, boats.
Please listen and enjoy. Click on book below if interested in
