And so goes November
In November, at winter's gate, the stars are brittle. The sun is a sometimes friend. And the world has tucked her children in, with a kiss on their heads, till spring.
- Cynthia Rylant, In November
If you're a lover of children's picture books, check out Cynthia Rylant's beautiful text. It is a beautifully illustrated meditation on one of the simplest months of the year.
November closes feeling exactly as it should - ominously cold, anticipatory of winter, and austere enough to be peaceful.
May we all find quiet peace in the next few weeks.

We have this book! The boys loved it. The words were so very dreamy, but a little melancholy.
Goodbye November, hello December!
(Did I just write that?)
going to have to search for this book. a little like our favorite book Someday - lovely but heartbreaking all at once.
Brittle stars. Sometimes friend. Quiet peace. Yes indeed. Beautiful gem of a post.
Beautiful! I do hope I can have peace in the next few weeks of December. Must not let the to-do list control me.
Oh, I just love that. Autumn is my favorite time of year. I have to find that book.
