The North Wind & The Sun
Written and Illustrated by Philip C. Stead
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
★ "Stead has created something truly special. . . . Stead’s beautifully textured illustrations create a strong duality between the elements, with the North Wind’s frenetic lines in stark contrast to the Sun’s serene spirals. . . . Masterfully updated and impeccably rendered." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
★ "When a virtuoso abandons all the rules and creates something more, everyone sits up with attention, and children will too. Aesop on steroids in blasts of colored pencil? Now that’s a classic." —School Library Journal, Starred Review
