Now young readers too will be caught up in the wonder of 24 woodland animals adapting to the season of dark and cold. Each day of Advent a different animal shows children its own amazing way to meet the dark and cold. Wood Frog freezes into a frog-shaped cube of ice! For six months Painted Turtle doesnt breathe! Woodchuck cant be wakened, even if shaken! With each creature, children hear the refrain: The dark is not an end. Its a door. Its the way a new beginning comes. Here is the ancient truth of Advent enacted in the lives of 24 common woodland animals and culminating in the birth of the Human One who perfectly lived that truth. Children open the books double-page spreads as they would the doors on an Advent calendar--one, and only one, each day.

In an often chaotic "holiday season," children learn to slow down and wait with all creation. Written in lilting poetic lines, children ages 5 to 10 will delight in the sounds of the words as well as the vivid descriptions of animals winter lives. Theyll learn the elegant intricacies of creatures as small as honeybees, as large as black bears. Original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Sharon Spitz convey the radiance of each creature. With this beautiful picture book, adults and families who have loved the original edition of All Creation Waits can now welcome younger children into the practice of reflective waiting-with-creation through Advent.

Her lifelong love of animals and her immersion in spiritual texts and practices have melded in poems and essays that explore how relationships with animals specifically, and an attentive presence in the natural world generally, restore us to our deepest selves. Also the author of Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing, Gayle lives with her husband and Welsh corgi rescue. "Writing about animals and the human-animal bond is the writing that enthralls me. Ive found it true, what the thirteenth-century mystic Meister Eckhart said: God is equally near in all creatures. Many human creatures and two corgis have loved me and encouraged my work. Beyond them, the creatures and landscapes of Michigans west coast, often wounded, open to me wonder after wonder." -- Gayle Boss Sharon Spitz is an award-winning illustrator and graphic designer currently based between Berlin and Haifa. Graduate with honors from the Department of Visual Communication in The NB Haifa School of Design (B.Des.).
