it was amazing

bookshelves: picturebook-animals, early-elementary, picturebook, picturebook-rhyming

This retelling of the Irish poem "Pangur Ban" is accompanied by delightful ink and watercolor illustrations. Serene and sweet, this poem details the companionship of a Monk and his white cat. Truly a gem in its illustrations. I would love the final double-page spread as a framed print on my wall.
