Translated from the English book of the same title, The Little Island won the Caldecott Medal in 1947. Once there was a little island in the ocean. That little island changed as the seasons came and went. The storm and the day and night changed it. So did the lobsters and seals and gulls that stopped by. Then one day a kitten visited the island and learned a secret that every child will enjoy. In some of his most brilliant and exciting pictures, Leonard Weisgard shows the changes that the seasons bring to a little island out in the ocean.
Reviews:
“A picture book of great charm.” – The Horn Book Magazine
“A thread of text and spectacular pictures describe a remote, rocky island and the life it harbors.” – The New Yorker
