Picture/Board Book of the Month

  • Dec 2009: Minfong Ho, illustrated by Holly Meade: Hush!: A Thai Lullaby

    Dec 2009: Minfong Ho, illustrated by Holly Meade: Hush!: A Thai Lullaby
    A Thai lullaby is the basis of Minfong Ho's soothing rhymes in this bedtime book. A mother rocks her baby to sleep and begs various animals to be quiet for the sake of the sleeping child. The animals make Thai-animal noises, that will sound and feel unique to Malaysian ears and tongues - for example, "Jeed-jeed," says a Thai mouse and "Hoom-praa" goes a Thai elephant. The illustrations, which won a Caldecott honor in 1997, are done with paper collage and depict Thai culture and simple rural life in a variety of earthy colours and interesting textures. "Hush!" was a Caldecott Medal Honor book in 1997. (*****)
