Is Was (Hardcover)
This sky is
the same sky that was blue,
and now is
spilling down in drips and drops…
until rainclouds pass…
Over the course of one day, a small child experiences the way the natural world changes from sun to rain and from day to night as things transform from is to was in this breathtaking book.
Deborah Freedman once was a child who liked to swing on swings. Now, she is an author-illustrator of picture books for children. She lives in a colorful house in Connecticut, where, from her favorite writing chair, she has watched blooms, storms, and moons come and go. You can learn more about Deborah and her books—including Blue Chicken; The Story of Fish & Snail; Shy; This House, Once; and Is Was—at DeborahFreedman.net.
